I have seen openldap spin the cpu and even run out of memory to get 
killed on some of our test systems running ~9.1-rel with zfs.  No jails.
I'm not sure what would have put load on our test systems other than 
nightly scripts.  I had to focus my attention on other servers so I 
don't have one to inspect at this point, but I won't be surprised if I 
see this in production.  Thanks for the tip about it being ZFS related, 
and I'll let you know if I find anything out.  This is mostly a "me too" 
reply.
