I just added another zone running on a ZFS pool. The memory stats are looking better:

Code:
# echo ::memstat|mdb -k
Page Summary                Pages                MB  %Tot
------------     ----------------  ----------------  ----
Kernel                     571744              4466   14%
ZFS File Data             1615127             12618   39%
Anon                       733311              5728   18%
Exec and libs               26113               204    1%
Page cache                  22748               177    1%
Free (cachelist)            12238                95    0%
Free (freelist)           1136070              8875   28%

Total                     4117351             32166
Physical                  4095740             31997

I was also looking at "top" before and after instaling the zone and noticed a 6G difference in available memory. I knew that the ZFS ARC memory allocation was dynamic but did not think it would release soo much RAM at once.
