It looks like a *huge* drop is to be expected :)
If I'm interpreting this correctly, it looks like a close to 10 MB patch is about to go in! To put this in perspective, the FreeBSD 7.0 kernel is ~120 MB of source code, which makes this > 8% of the kernel (of course, the patch also contains userland parts so it's not a very useful comparison).
The new ZFS code should bring in stability improvements and the latest version of ZFS (zpool) - probably 14 (previous version was 6).
No, this will not go into 7.1, but it will be available in 8.0 and maybe even 7.2.
