Well, not to pull rank or undermine a colleague, but I don't think Sid knows
the code like I do.  Go look at stripe_writev if you want to see how it will
issue multiple requests within a loop xlators/cluster/stripe/src/stripe.c:3754
before waiting for any to return.  You can even use gdb to step through it if
you still don't believe me.

I agree on "should" but there are other explanations besides lack of
parallelism.  Please note that diverting people to the wrong place keeps them
from fixing anything in the right place.
