I asked this same question with U320 scsi controller. I noticed my CPU went
to 100%. It never really was being used at all, just in wait. Run top to
see if "wa" is high or not.
This is what I see (no load, no disk activity) for the CPU:
Cpu(s): 0.1% us, 0.1% sy, 0.0% ni, 97.6% id, 2.2% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.1% si
Copying a single disk to /dev/null (9.1gb):
Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 1.7% sy, 0.0% ni, 74.8% id, 23.3% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.2% si
