Yes, for about 50-100ms at a time, and -to- the disks, not from them;
well, the caches anyway. On 133MB/s PCI, more like 150-300ms of
saturation on bursts, and shared with the NICs. I have very short and
bursty I/O patterns as is typical in real-time applications. It's
easier to guarantee latency when your pipes are always at a small
fraction of their potential. 100ms higher latency, even for part of a
second, is quite noticeable in what I serve.

PS 2.6 dropped my latencies under load by about 90% over 2.4! We're
talking 40-80ms application response time under high load to 8-10ms
under high load. <3
