--- Comment #40 from Seigo Tanimura <seigo.tanimura@gmail.com> ---
(In reply to Seigo Tanimura from comment #38)

The results of the fixed stable/13 (13.3-PRERELEASE) branch is now ready to
share.

Thomas, could you please reproduce the build with this kernel and see if the
build time improves?  If so, I will work on merging the fix.  Thanks in
advance.

* Sources on GitHub:

The same as comment #38.

* Test results

* Findings and Analysis

- The ARC pruning has worked in the same way as 14.0-RELEASE.
  - The prunable znodes were pruned down to less than 10% of the dnodes.
  - The behaviour after 18:10Z was due to the nightly cron job started at
18:01Z.

- The build time was virtually the same as comment #38.
  - Also virtually the same as 14.0-RELEASE.

- The zfskern{arc_evict} thread used the CPU up to 100% in the final ~1 hou=
r of
the build.
  - The reason is not clear.
  - There were no significant affects to the system.
  - zfskern{arc_evict} stopped running upon completing the build.
