I do know. Since you're still seeing performance regressions this isn't standard
enough to be well-optimized, apparently. Since it's also not exactly a default
setup on systems other than FreeBSD, I suggest you get in contact with the DBMS
developers to figure out if something can or needs to be done to ensure good
performance on ZFS.

The latter.
