The vmstat output you showed before said user CPU time was only around
12%, which seems to destroy Luke's thesis that data conversion time
is the problem. IIRC we were speculating that data was being written
in a pattern that required a lot of seeking thus ruining throughput,
but we didn't have any hard evidence of that. Did you do the strace'ing
I suggested?
