I meet some strange low performance when run RAID0 with vanilla kernel
2.4.27/2.6.11.12.
My box is a 2.8G P4 and 1G RAM. 8 400GB SATA disk and A marvel 8port
controller. I run marvel 3.4.1 driver. I wrote a small program to write
device sequentially and SYNCHRONOUSLY.
This is performance of 1 disk. looks fine.

8192Bytes * 65536 : 26.499MB/s
4096Bytes * 65536 : 15.110MB/s
2048Bytes * 65536 : 8.422MB/s
1024Bytes * 65536 : 4.318MB/s
But when run 2 disk raid0, there is only 10% improvement.

2048Bytes * 65536 : 8.383MB/s
1024Bytes * 65536 : 4.303MB/s
And when use 4 disks, the speed is slower!

1024Bytes * 65536 : 4.287MB/s
Any hint on this?
* I do not know how to check current PCI bus speed and I am not sure
whether is limited by that. It is a 64bit card but I am not sure if it
is run at 66MHZ. Should be, but want to check to make sure.
* I tested each disk and all disk performs OK.
Thanks
Ming
