If you really want performance, the LVM should be stripped across RAID Arrays. And make sure you use multiple controllers.
(i.e. in the DS6800 there are two controllers, each has half the cache. If you do LVM across both controllers, you have the potential of using all the cache, not just half.).

If so, why?
