    It only needs to be large enough to contain the maximum amount of
    synchronous write data to be committed in one transaction group.
    This means that it is dependent on the I/O performance of the primary
    storage devices in the pool, the amount of main memory, and the
    maximum time allowed without writing a transaction group, all of which
    are factors when deciding when a TXG should be written.  The amount of
    data to be stored also depends on how large the synchronous writes are
    since large writes (e.g. 128k) by-pass the dedicated ZIL and go
    directly to main store.

    If there was one TXG per second, then the 8GB SSD would provide for
    almost 8GB of synchronous writes per second (assuming that writes are
    small), which is quite a lot.
