raw info temporarily moved from main article page here
Equipment:
Athlon X2 5000+
3x Western Digital 250GB drives (WDC WD2500JS-22NCB1 10.02E02 SATA-300)
2x Western Digital 500GB drives (WDC WD5000AAKS-00YGA0 12.01C02)
Nvidia nForce onboard RAID controller, Promise TX2300 RAID controller
Athlon 64 3500+
5x Seagate 750GB drives (Seagate ST3750640NS 3.AEE SATA-150)
Nvidia nForce onboard RAID controller
Procedure:
/usr/bin/time -h measuring simultaneous cp of 3.1GB files to /dev/null
files generated with dd if=/dev/random bs=16M count=200
simultaneous cp processes use physically separate files
write performance tested with dd if/dev/zero bs=16M count=200
sysctl -w vfs.read_max=128 unless otherwise stated
Notes:
system default of vfs.read_max=8 bonnie++ was flirted with, but couldn't figure out how to make it read big enough chunks of data to ever once hit the disk instead of the cache!
Ancillary data:

vfs.read_max=8, 2 parallel cp processes 3 250GB disks, gmirror round-robin : 31 MB/s 1 250GB disk : 27 MB/s 2 250GB disks, gmirror round-robin : 23 MB/s
Preliminary conclusions:
system default of vfs.read_max=8 is insufficient for ANY configuration, including vanilla single-drive gmirror read performance sucks - Promise read performance sucks - nvidia read performance sucks for single-process graid3 is the clear performance king here and offers very significant write performance increase as well SATA-II seems to offer significant performance increases over SATA-I on large arrays
