I haven't had much luck running ZFS under heavy load on 7-stable, I was 
forced to install 8-current and use the latest patch set posted by pjd. 
  Don't jump in until you've tested it with a realistic production load.

The nice thing was that 8-current didn't require any special kernel or 
memory tuning at all (except for disabling ZIL, but not everyone seems 
to have to do this).

As far as I know ZFS does not support ACLs under FreeBSD at this time, 
and implementing it is non-trivial.
