CPU is most likely the bottle neck. So my comment should have read if you have a fast cpu you may benefit from ZFS compression.
On modern CPU LZ4 should enable about 400MB/s current PCU write compression

- voltagex_ 10y agoThank you for that - it was interesting at least, even if I've probably done it all wrong (TLDR - compression on ZFS definitely varies with the data you try to compress) https://blog.voltagex.org/2016/08/26/benchmarking-compression-on-freebsd/ https://blog.voltagex.org/2016/08/26/benchmarking-compressio... Fun fact: while researching this I found yet another article that contradicts the information I had when I built my zpool, and apparently I've done it all wrong (again).
