RAID 5 TWEAKED: 1:06.41 elapsed @ 60% CPU
This should be 1:14 not 1:06(was with a similarly sized file but not the
same) the 1:14 is the same file as used with the other benchmarks. and to
get that I used 256mb read-ahead and 16384 stripe size ++ 128
max_sectors_kb (same size as my sw raid5 chunk size)
