What do you have for the the first column on gstat (L(q) values) ?

The server in question is a DELL R710 that comes as a poor choice on =
bought (nobody notice the SATA disks until the server was installed - =
then it was too late for a exchange).

It was a lot worse at beginning and adding the following lines (to =
/boot/loader.conf) did help a little bit (it is usable now, even when it =
is fully loaded by find requests - usable but not normal -).

vfs.zfs.vdev.min_pending=3D1
vfs.zfs.vdev.max_pending=3D1

Not sure if this will help with your hardware, but you can give it a try =
if you're seeing high values for the L(q) column.
