  I was referring to the cache on the server side. While that disk subsys-
tem is fast (about 600MB/sec sustained), the test locally on that server
reported about 4GB/sec.

  Not so good:

(0:18) new-gate:/foo/Backups/Suzanne VAIO# dd if=0cff3d7b_VOL.spf of=/dev/null bs=1m
6010+1 records in
6010+1 records out
6301945344 bytes transferred in 159.656789 secs (39471828 bytes/sec)

  Caching seems to help:

(0:19) new-gate:/foo/Backups/Suzanne VAIO# dd if=0cff3d7b_VOL.spf of=/dev/null bs=1m
6010+1 records in
6010+1 records out
6301945344 bytes transferred in 4.456822 secs (1413999810 bytes/sec)
