Yeah, not a bad guess :) - Looks like I'm not doing anything 'obviously' 
wrong - it's just going as fast as it does...

Looks like I'm back to looking at iSCSI -> ZFS then for now. HAST has coped 
with everything I've thrown at it ('failure' wise) but I need more speed 
than that as storage for VM's etc.
