I could live with 4x slower writes - that would get me ~18MB/s; I'd 
settle for ~10MB/s as the server is on a 100Mbit/s network.

If it's the standard situation then ok, it's "higher power" but somehow 
I doubt 3 10kRPM SCSI drives in RAID5 should be this slow. Toying with 
mount options doesn't help.

(btw. everything is fine on the attached desktop-grade IDE disk [very 
recent model]: 45MB/s writes, 50MB/s reads)
