Thanks for the response.  I happened across r307264; however, my understand=
ing is that it applies to the FreeBSD 11 and I'm using FreeBSD 10.

Note that I have experienced the same performance degradation on a FreeBSD1=
1.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 system using 2x Intel 520 SSDs in ZFS mirrored pair wi=
th server an Intel Core i5-2500 with 16GB ram and running PostgreSQL 9.6.1.=
  There's no memory pressure in any of the systems I've tested on.

5 million rows (select count(*)) goes from ~35 seconds to ~635 seconds on I=

Just a random guess: can you try r307264 (I am mean regression in r307266)?
