I have found the source of my speed issues, and they are not tied to
samba or zfs.  The replacement drive that I put into my array (just
after I updated to stable/9 a few weeks ago) is hitting 100% busy in
gstat while only writing out1-3MB/s -- it's a WDC WD15EARS-00Z5B1 and
some quick googling has demonstrated that there are issues with drives
like it.
