It seems that I'm not at all diskbound. When I repeatedly dd a 10GB  
from from the 16GB memory of one of my storage servers I consistently  
max out at around 390MB/s with _zero_ disk io involved. I imagine I'm  
doing something wrong in terms of juggling cache sizes, io threads,  
readahead sizes etc that is causing this? Or is there some other OS  
interaction interfering?

thanks
