--As for the rest, it is mine.

That is quite certainly too little RAM for that setup.  Lowest I've heard 
anyone get to with ZFS is half a GB, and it's not considered 'stable' with 
less than a full GB.  (And from my experience I'd say you'll want more than 
that.)

With another file system, maybe.  But ZFS needs RAM.
