hello all, 
i am a little new to zfs so please excuse my ignorance.  i have a poweredge 2950
running Nevada B82 with an Apple Xraid attached over a fiber hba.  they are
formatted to JBOD with the pool configured as follows:

i have a filesystem (tpool4/seplog) shared over nfs.  creating files locally
seems to be fine but writing files over nfs seem to be extremely slow.  on one
of the clients(os x) it reports over 3hours to copy a 500MB file.
also during the copy when i issue a zpool iostat -v 5 the response time
increases for the command.
i have also noticed that none of the led''s on the drives flicker.
would someone be able to point in the right direction?  any help is appreciated.
thanx in advance.
cheers, 
abs
