With the default settings that ship with Postgres, ZFS underperforms EXT4 by a factor of 2-3x.
- Most notable setting is shared_buffers=128MB

The DB used for benchmarking is ~30GB. The system has a total of 64GB RAM with the ARC being given a maximum of ~32GB. Irrespective of the small value of shared_buffers, almost the entire DB should be cached in the ARC and the ZFS benchmark should not suffer so greatly.
