I have seen this while gzipping many _large_ log files. Our filer is running 4.0.1c on an F220 with NFS only (no CIFS or HTTP).

I see two issues here. First there was a performance problem with large deletes the fix for which has been put into a future release (sales can say more). It is in testing now.
Second. If you have snapshots on say hourly you may be creating many copies of both the .z file and the uncompressed files. gziping with snapshot may increase rather than decrease the number of allocated disk blocks.
