It's a bit more than RAID level. It's how filesystem is organized and the principles of ZFS.

Some time ago I found those references interesting from performance perspective: http://blogs.sun.com/realneel/entry/zfs_and_databases http://blogs.sun.com/roch/date/20060922
However, the comparison is not with RAID but with another filesystem, UFS.

Here is the nice overview but it doesn't really go into internals to understand what are the potential issues: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/zfs_overview.jsp
