Tracked that one down.  In 2.2 you need --with-idle=idled.  With 2.3  
you need --enable-idled.  I compiled 2.3 with the same config deck as  
2.2, and then installed it into the same partition.  So I had the 2.2  
idled.  Which worked, astoundingly enough, but logged a lot of  
problems with things it didn't understand.

Anyroadup, ~1000 users on a T2000, load average is below 1.0, zfs'd  
metadata partitions (compression=on, atime=off) are taking most of  
the load with the non-metadata partitions over NFS being treated very  
gently.
