Well that sucks... I guess one more reason to move to NV-Dimms to replace slow SLC cards. Br, Rune

This could be a mistaken impression. The slog commits each write before proceeding to the next write. If the involved SSDs have a fixed minimum write latency, then this would limit the maximum transaction rate regardless of the number of SSDs involved. There could be an advantage to more SSDs if the additional time between writes allows the SSD to more effectively prepare for the next write and reduce the write latency.
