What I'd like to know is, can this issue be resolved in a future version of ZFS or is it too ingrained into the design of ZFS?

The massive amounts of RAM recommendation is if you need to do deduplication. Are you doing that? If not then you don't need a lot of RAM. Between the low cost of storage, and alternative solutions for deduplicating data I personally d
