    Um... not quite. That was the number you listed for S/W RAID5. In that
    case you're not benchmarking the controller in the same way; the
    controller is just serving requests with no RAID processing overhead at
    all. Could you get results for Linux that bypassed the filesystem but
    used H/W RAID5 like you are with FreeBSD?
