The ARC's buffer hash table is sized based on the assumption of an average
block size of \fBzfs_arc_average_blocksize\fR (default 8K). This works out
to roughly 1MB of hash table per 1GB of physical memory with 8-byte pointers.
For configurations with a known larger average block size this value can be
increased to reduce the memory footprint.
