We have several Proliants DL380 with integrated Smart Array 5i controller,
with installed FreeBSD OS versions 4.11-stable, 5.4-pre and 6.0-current.
All systems have disks configured as RAID5.
I've noticed there is drastic difference in speed for the systems.
While I have linear transfer 45-50 Mb/s (write) and 100 Mb/s (read)
for FreeBSD 4.11, there is near two times degradation in speed
with 5.4 and 6.0.

These are simple tests taken on running systems (tests in single user
mode are slightly different but of the same order)
It seems, there is sensible speed penalty with driver version growing.
