These numbers seem completely bogus, probably because bonnie is using a
file size smaller than memory and is reporting caching effects. (730MB/s
isn't possible for a single external RAID unit with a pair of 2Gb/s
interfaces.) bonnie in general isn't particularly useful on modern
large-ram systems, in my experience.
