(In reply to Seigo Tanimura from comment #2)
Does arc_prune stop running once the build finishes?  The problem that
EN-23:18.openzfs tries to address is that arc_prune will continue endlessly,
even when the system is idle and there is no pressure for free memory or
vnodes.

arc_prune_async() is rather dumb on FreeBSD, as you point out: it tries to
reclaim vnodes from the global free list, but doing so might not alleviate
pressure.  Really we want some way to shrink a per-mountpoint or per-filesystem
cache.
