Caching is off; that will kill performance especially for small transactions. If you've got battery backup for this system, consider enabling the onboard cache...?
Chuck, that made an immediate and huge difference: # tw_cli set cache c0 u0 on # dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile 5649235+0 records in 5649234+0 records out 2892407808 bytes transferred in 40.800142 secs (70892102 bytes/sec) I had no idea having the cache on would be such a night and day difference. I'm off to order the battery backup card.
