Ha, this is awesome, thanks for checking that out. One point of note though, I'm pretty sure it would have been faster to build the kernel + OpenZFS on the Debian/RISC-V in QEMU. QEMU on decent hardware runs very fast and much faster than the D1. ADD: Geekbench 5.4.1 on RISC-V - under QEMU/Ryzen 9 3900XT: 82 - under QEMU/M1: 76 - Native D1: 32 (https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/13259016 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/13259016) The M1 result is skewed because for some reason AES emulation is much faster on Ryzen. The rest of the integer stuff is faster on the M1, up to 30% faster.
