I plan to test the different configurations. however, if I was saturating the bus with the reconstruct how can I fire off a dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test and get ~45M/sec whild only slowing the reconstruct to ~4M/sec? I'm putting 10x as much data through the bus at that point, it would seem to proove that it's not the bus that's saturated.
