OK, I re-ran the tests on the same box using CURRENT as of this 
morning.  There does not seem to be any large difference speed wise between 
RELENG_5 and HEAD, at least as it relates to the 3ware driver.  Both 
RELENG_5 and HEAD are behind RELENG_4 and Linux 2.6.10 which are pretty 
equal in the tests that I did.

I could not run the full NFS tests, and async nfs mounts are broken in 
RELENG_5 and HEAD.
