Certainly under a big io load. I have found in the past that the  
deadline scheduler gives better results than the CFQ scheduler. On  
recent linux kernels you can switch the scheduler on a per device  
basis like this

[root at rado ~]# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]
[root at rado ~]# echo "deadline" > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
[root at rado ~]# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop anticipatory [deadline] cfq

I don't know how much more you can squeeze out of your setup

Cheers

Dave
