 I measured the performance of the sequential full-stripe write operations to
a RAID-5 array (P values below are in MB per second) using the h/w accelerated
RAID-5 driver.

 Here are the comparative results for the different PAGE_SIZE values:

PAGE_SIZE = 4K:
 P = 66 MBps;

PAGE_SIZE = 16K:
 P = 145 MBps;

PAGE_SIZE = 64K:
 P = 196 MBps;

PAGE_SIZE = 256K:
 P = 217 MBps.

 That's true, but the additional performance is an attractive thing too.
