"/sys/block/md*/md/stripe_cache_size" is absolutely the first thing one should
look at when facing a problem with md RAID5/6 write performance. It is
understandable that the default value can't be high (as it consumes a lot of
RAM on large disk counts), but increasing it if you have the RAM can increase
the write speed by 200 to 400%:
