I'm seeing similar sequential performance on RELENG_5_3 and RELENG_5_4 
on dual-Xeons using 3ware controllers so it does not seem to be a driver 
issue but somewhere else in the architechture. Depending on the array 
configuration, 40-60MB/s reads and 100-160MB/s writes. The write 
performance is as expected but the read performance should be above the 
write performance.
