I did a little test with OpenSolaris and it seemed sluggish.
However, someone else may have liked it and that's why I need to say it was just what I saw on a 2GB C2D machine.
ZFS was very nice and that's why I'd like to try it out on FreeBSD.
However, I'd like to use it for my root partition.
Here are two articles on how to do that:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRoot
http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS
However, FreeBSD can't boot without the help of an UFS partition with a bootloader on it.
What would it need to be able to boot from ZFS? Does it still need that UFS partition in 7.1?
If it still does need it, I'd like to see what can be done and do what it takes to fix that and allow native ZFS boot.
