As I said in private email, you need the battery in order to restore
performance. Linux and Windows get by because they can send larger
I/O's to the controller than FreeBSD can. The larger I/O's aren't
terribly useful for most real-world applications, though.

256MB cache, no BBU. Tried a lot of different combinations of settings.
fbsd 6.2pre writes 220MB/s with raid-0
If I boot windows server 2003 instead, it writes at around 180MB/s with
raid-5 (same configs).
With fbsd6.2pre, I get the "best" performance with BadBBU/direct
io/disabled cache and 8 drives, maybe around 50 MB/s, however I get a
zig-zag performance pattern, with the adapter running at 500% (gstat)
utilization one second, then down to 0% for maybe 3 seconds, back, etc.

Default settings on both.
Maybe you should check what the defaults are :) Especially the amount
of memory and is there a battery to back the cache.
- how does writing directly to the device (bypassing file system)
compare?
Drives are four seagate 7200.10 400GB in a Raid-5 configuration.

This is bad :( The difference between p0 and raw device might indicate
a stripe size misalignment, but the values are too low in any case.
