This is only 8 GB of IO. It is possible that (despite dio) you are caching. Make the IO much larger than RAM. Use a count of 128m or so.

This is going to sound dumb, but I thought I had 4 GB of RAM and thus intentionally used a file size 2x my physical RAM. As it turns out, I have 32GB of RAM on the box (4G usually shows up as 38.... and I just saw the 3). Anyway, with a 64GB file the numbers are looking more accurate (and even low):
393.3 MB/s
We have found dd to be quite trustworthy with [oi]flag=direct.
I like it too. At any rate, I'm going to need to do some new testing to avoid the ram size (might just set a mem limit on the boot line).

There's still a bit of a discrepancy between IOP performance with iSer and srpt. Has anyone else done comparisons with the two? I think Erez was hoping to get some numbers before too long.
