Yeah, 35Mb per sec is slow for a raid controller, the 3ware mirrored is about 50Mb/sec, and striped is about 100

With hardware tuning, I am sure we can do better than 35Mb per sec. Also
WTF ?
My Laptop does 19 MB/s (reading <10 KB files, reiser4) !
A recent desktop 7200rpm IDE drive # hdparm -t /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc1: Timing buffered disk reads: 148 MB in 3.02 seconds = 49.01 MB/sec
# ll "DragonBall 001.avi"
-r--r--r-- 1 peufeu users 218M mar 9 20:07 DragonBall 001.avi
# time cat "DragonBall 001.avi" >/dev/null real 0m4.162s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.510s
(the file was not in the cache) => about 52 MB/s (reiser3.6)
So, you have a problem with your hardware...
