I didn't look too closely at the details, but I don't understand why
they include gzip and lzma compression in a filesystem performance test.

BTW, the 8 + head tinderbox runs ZFS on an 64 GB SSD.  When I tested
ahci last October, I saw a 7% loss of performance with four paralell
builds.  I haven't tried a newer kernel.
