By my accounting that looks to be about 14 MB/s off your block device
using the existing split drivers... If you can't saturate the disk on
a 3 Ghz box I'd have to think that something has gone desperately
wrong. Has a block performance bug slid in to unstable or something?
;)
I don't doubt that better memory performance can be achieved by
adjusting event notification frequency/batching -- as you pointed out
earlier... but block devices are a pretty weird place to try to win.
I'd expect the numbers from the two tests you're running to be
identical -- and bottlenecked on the disk. By a lot.
