[zfs-discuss] Improving snapshot write performance

I use an application with a fairly large receive data buffer (256MB) to
replicate data between sites.

I have noticed the buffer becoming completely full when receiving
snapshots for some filesystems, even over a slow (~2MB/sec) WAN
connection.  I assume this is due to the changes being widely scattered.

Is there any way to improve this situation?

Thanks,
