Hi,

I have two systems with a zpool 2x2 mirror on 7.2k RPM disks.  One
system also has a flash SLOG.

The flash SLOG system took around 12 hours to complete freebsd-update
from 13.2 to 14.0-RC1.  The system without the SLOG took nearly 24
hours.  This was the result of ~50k patches, and ~10k files from
freebsd-update and a very pathological 'install' command performance.

'ps auxww | grep install':

I spoke with mjg about this and because my pools do not have block
cloning enabled, copy_file_range turns into a massive pessimization in
'install'.  He suggested a workaround of 'sysctl
vfs.zfs.dmu_offset_next_sync=0' but we should probably sort this out
for 14.0-RELEASE.

Regards,
Kevin
