ZFS really likes RAM, so if you're running anything less than 16GB, that could be your issue.
From the Proxmox documentation:
I changed the arc size on all my machines to 4GB and it runs a bit better. I am getting much better performance. I though I had changed it but I didn't regenerate initramfs so it didn't apply. I am still having issues with VM transfers locking up the cluster but that might be fixable by tweaking some settings.
16GB might be overkill or underkill depending on what you are doing.
