I can only comment that with aha-3940UW (7880-based) controllers, CAM has
been nothing but stable.  You'll notice a wee bit of performance increase
and faster reboots on typical systems.  Of course the latter doesn't
really matter much since you probably rarely reboot server machines (they
don't crash.) 

On news servers you'll think that Justin & Ken snuck in overnight, jacked
up the radiator cap and replaced your system from the ground up.  The
performance improvement to our 2.2.6-May201998-STABLE system was _that_
dramatic.  I'd really be interested to know if Joe Greco has done any
testing in this area which has yielded some statistics to attempt to
quantify the improvement.
