It's been a few years since I looked carefully at performance, but those
results sound pretty similar to what I found for standard AFS (rs6k/ssa
disks/fddi) Within 30%, anyway.

If you're speaking only of write performance and cold-cache reads, then I
think you're correct in estimating that it's due to the better Rx.
