That's with an MTU of 1500. I can't seem to turn on jumbo frames on the OpenFiler box. I would speculate that jumbo frames would help out with sequential reads/writes significantly. I think perhaps there's a BIOS setting to enable/disable jumbo support but it's too late to fuck around with it much more.
