volslice or partition? (T3+)

I have 2 E4000 systems each with a T3+ attached.

On one system (DEV1) I created one volslice and later split up the slice using format. Creating the filesystem (newfs) took quite a long time. About 2 hours for a 200Gb partition.

On the other system (DEV2), I created 3 volslices. Creating the filesystem (newfs) on each slice took just a few minutes for even a 400Gb partition.

Is this behaviour what you would expect?

Could there be something wrong with the DEV2 system or it's array?

I have not noticed any performance problems with DEV1, but then I'm not really pushing it that hard yet either.

Do the dev systems have different revs of the OS or UFS patches? Also, what does "fru stat" and "vol stat" show on the T3s?
