If you weren't having any issues with speed and they've progressively
gotten worse, I'd look at dedup. If you're using dedup, you better make
sure you've got 2.5GB RAM for every TB of unique data you have, otherwise
you'll be swapping your dedup tables constantly and your read/write
performance is going to die.
