It is a non-sequential load where we are seek bound, so perhaps the system
or drive or driver is behaving in ways that you don't expect.  I certainly
find it puzzling that the ncr driver handles this non-sequential load faster
than the sim_hipd driver since I know that your driver's architecture is
superior.  I could run some SCSI bus traces if these would be helpful.
