Most likely not as much as you'd like.  That unfortunately is an
artifact of 3ware's design.  We never use these systems for high usage
scenarios like a database server or sometimes even a home directory
server.  Nearline backup and slow storage is what we consider them
useful for.  The '9.2' release does have significant performance
increases (firmware and driver need to be updated) but I don't think
they'll solve the IO Wait state any time soon.
