Are your comments about "light load" related to ZFS or OpenAFS?

We're got several heavy-usage FreeBSD servers running 8.2 or 9.0 that
have ZFS file partitions and are humming along nicely, for what it's
worth.  I'm looking in to AFS because we need Kerberized file
services, and all our client OSs support OpenAFS, whereas they do
*not* all support Kerberized NFSv4.
