OK, fine. I've rid my computer (8.2-PREREL. kernel) of ZFS (for various
reasons, notably (1) unbearable slow speed with full disks - note this is
a WD RE3 drive and a quadcore CPU -, and (2) incapability to delete big
files without truncating them first on ZFS) and give it another spin. 
UFS+journalling is a hell of a lot faster than ZFS for sure, even on a
slower (5400/min green Samsung) disk...

I'll then update the PR with my findings or just close it as ZFS artifact.

Thanks for the feedback and ZFS pointer already.

Best regards
