Just in case if interested in SATA, perhaps this helps (made on an almost
idle system):

Finally: 17.4 vs. 43.8 vs. 74.2 MB/s

It seems odd, since rpool (SATA0,SATA1) and pool1 (SATA2,SATA3) have the
same disks and capacity of ~60%, pool2 (SATA4,SATA5) has 0%. 
So very roughly 1st 600, 2nd 400, 3rd 200 iops.

My guess is, that there is a driver or BIOS/FW problem. Upgrade to
snv_b124 and BIOS/FW to latest release is scheduled for the end of
october, than I may know a little bit more ...
