Ladies and Gentlemen,
To show off some numbers from our testing:

All tests are performed against the cache of the Array, not the disks as we 
wanted to test the Linux stack not the Disk Array.

All single queue tests have been performed with the deadline I/O Scheduler.

Comments welcome, have fun reading :-)

[Beware, this is with Hannes' lockless lpfc patches, which are not upstream as 
they're quite experimental, but are good at showing the capability of the new
