What stripesize was used for striped LV? IIRC the default is 64k.

IIUC you are serving mostly large files. I have no numbers, and no HW to test the hypothesis, but using larger stripesize could help here as this would split the load on multiple RAID5 volumes, while not splitting the IOs too early into too many small requests.
