I personnaly do not use the merge-delay as it is reported to be experimental. Further more. All my tests demonstrated worth performances with merge-delay (I also tried with 0.002 as you did). That said my setup is not perfect and I don't want to misslead you. I have tried several times to get in touch with Gabor Gombas who wrote ggaoed... but unfortanately all my mails remained dead letters.
If you're looking for performances maybe you can give vblade a try? (fork process or use bonding for multiple NICs) The first tests I made gave slightly better results with vblade than ggaoed concerning throuput:

I think I used tiobench for thoose tests

I can get a very low "queue_stall" number by setting "merge-delay =
0.002" in ggaoed.conf, if not setting merge-delay queue_stall is
extremely high.

      
And "queue_over" is 0 when setting "queue-length = 1024". If I set
queue-length to 64 I get extremely high queue_over number...

I get some ata errors with an exported RAID6 array, but none for
another RAID10 array on the same controller.

Controller is:
Adapter: 0
Product Name: Supermicro SMC2108
Memory: 512MB
BBU: Present
Serial No:


What can cause ata_err ? (connected to several initiators all
reporting ata error):
aoe: ata error cmd=24h stat=41h from e90.2
end_request: I/O error, dev etherd/e90.2, sector 3898431360
Buffer I/O error on device etherd/e90.2, logical block 487303920
aoe: ata error cmd=24h stat=41h from e90.2
end_request: I/O error, dev etherd/e90.2, sector 3898431360
Buffer I/O error on device etherd/e90.2, logical block 487303920
...

I've checked the physical raid array on the target but this have no
errors, and all disks are good.

Can merge-delay or queue-length cause ata errors?
