I really don't think increase STRIPE_SIZE would have much effect. You might save a bit of CPU (though it might cost you too) but it should change the order of requests, so it wouldn't affect disk io much. I really think this is a scheduling problem. We need to make sure to send the requests in the right order without delaying things needlessly, and avoid reads when ever possible.
