DNLC is something that did create a lot of discussions on ZFS mailing list, and is one of that parts that ZFS did not changed, and (at least for me) a ghost. Let me try to explain...
ZFS dynamics are totally different from many parts of the other ...
That was a simple but nice one... i did see a huge write performance on one of our storages.
