+ <para revision="269846">The default &man.zfs.8;
+ <acronym>ARC</acronym> hash table size has been increased,
+ and a new &man.loader.8; tunable,
+ <literal>vfs.zfs.arc_average_blocksize</literal>, has been
+ added. Previously, the hash table could be too small, which
+ would lead to long hash chains and limit performance for
+ cached reads. The
+ <literal>vfs.zfs.arc_average_blocksize</literal> tunable
+ allows overriding the default block size. The previous
+ default was 65536, and default of the new &man.loader.8;
+ tunable is 8192.</para>
