I think a lot of it can do with the clients being used. But in my 
experience here, zfs backed iscsi targets are on-par with NFS on read 
performance, but lag badly on write performance. NFS clients perform 
pretty well in both read & write operations.

ESX seems to like its vmdk's on NFS more than iSCSI here.

Back end is Sun 7310 cluster.
