Dear colleagues,

are there any "real" estimations on how much memory is needed for having 
efficient, say, 1T of L2ARC?  stable/amd64, of course.

I have backup storage server, where pool size is targeted to a few hundreds of 
terabytes (currently ~35T), and hot set is usually less than 512G-1T.

quick googling leads to some Solaris/Illumos documents, but even them are not 
bright enough in answer that.

Thanks!
