Only thing I could think of was maybe dedup. However, dedup chews up _lots_ of ram. Gobs of it. To be honest, 12gb doesn't seem like enough to run dedup on something like a 6TB pool (just an example) anyway. I recall reading rough estimates of 4x (or even 5x depending) ram for dedup sizing guidelines at one time.
