Description

Joyent has a fix for that called:

OS-11 rcapd behaves poorly when under extreme load
[[https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/commit/9230f57fd5dc4b0898a592a83cfa3f7b18b26718]]

Under a higher load when multiple zones are used 'rcapd' can consume almost 100% single cpu core at SYS.

As a workaround one may need to disable capped-memory from zones:

zonecfg -z zone1 remove capped-memory
zoneadm -z zone1 halt
zoneadm -z zone1 boot
