Emma, you're right here.

This will have, at most, the kind of impact we see from software RAID. In fact, in an era of multicore processors, this is a perfect use for the excess CPU power that developers are having problems using efficiently.

So ZFS has come along at the right time to match up with the underused CPU power the new multicore CPUs offer.

For those who brought it up, yes, ZFS will work just fine on PPC Macs. Leopard is developed on Xcode which generates solid binaries for both CPU families (PPC and Intel). Apple will continue to support PPC for at least three more years.
