RHEL5 uses old dmcrypt code which is stable but has known
limitations.
The last change in RHEL was backporting suport for XTS mode.
Backporting of some performance changes is almost impossible
(if it easy I perhaps tried that long time ago).
Also please note that this is exactly where RHEL customer
requests helps - and there were no such requests.
So other things get priority.
So if you are using CentOS my advice is simple - try to upgrade
to CentOS6 and test it. It should be in some aspect better but still
database performance over dmcrypt can have problems.
Setting nr_request will not help btw, this is different problem.
