By sluggish I mean: When moving windows (either of the desktop or of any aplication) around it suddenly skips for a second and then continued. I am now using zfs root - and this sluggish behaviour has completely vanished. This leads to the conclusion that the problem has to do with the filesystem. Has anyone else noticed this?

I definitely see this behavior with xfce4 on my Ultra 20.  I'm told it
is related to the crummy SATA support on Solaris 10 03/05 (which is what
I'm running at the moment).
