Sometimes ZFS appears to hang while deleting a file. It is actually
making slow progress at the file deletion, but other operations
(administrative and writes via the data path) "hang" until the file

blocks. The deletion (or most of it) happens in a single txg, and the
sync thread spends most of its time reading indirect blocks...
