Answered my own question again, I think:

# zdb -DD data

DDT-sha256-zap-duplicate: 693 entries, size 994 on disk, 839 in core
DDT-sha256-zap-unique: 10712002 entries, size 354 on disk, 186 in core

According to the histogram also provided by zdb, the table only
contains about 1/4 of our data- 1TB out of ~4TB total.

The count is, in fact, going down as archives go through the
maintenance process.

By the way, there seems to be a problem with zdb under heavy disk IO:

root at planb:/crashplan# zdb -DD data
zdb: can't open 'data'': I/O error

(this was after several minutes of waiting.)
