I have two machines, one at home (-10) and one at work (-9), in a 
similar role as yours (fileserver and builds). While both have had 
their moments, those have never been zfs related.

They both have 32 GB RAM. The home machine, currently running a 
netbsd-9 build natively and pkg_rr in a VM, is using 16 GB for pools as 
we speak. 

My guess would be that your 8 GB are simply not enough for sustaining 
both zfs and builds.

Cheerio,
Hauke
