  ClusterHQ's tests were unable to detect a difference between the platforms, with the exception of SELinux where performance was degraded unless xattr=sa was set. The code bases are almost identical, so performance differences tend to be caused by external factors and/or compatibility shims. There are also cases where one platform has a performance improvement before the others because the releases and porting are not done in lock step.

  Another reason is that ZFS is tightly integrated with other things (for example jails and zones) on those systems, having switches related to other parts. I don't think that it is quiet there yet on Linux, even though I am sure that will come.
