Orvar,

around 50 to 60 MB/sec I've seen when zwo disks are writing
and around 100MB/s when reading round-robin.

The limiting faktor has been the old PCI-Bus (*not* 32-Bit
slot length) and in another test the 1-lane PCI-X bus.
(Sil680/SIL3124-2  and  SIL3132 Chip)
 
So if you can see the difference being faktor 2 between reading
and writing when using a 1:1 mirror setup, I would say, you 
hit the bottleneck of your PCI-Bus.
