Inquiring minds might also want to know that there is no support
for alternate RAIDframe queuing strategies in the component label 
stuff -- the use of fifo is basically hard-coded for anything 
using 'autoconfig'....  So you'll need to do a 'raidctl -c' and not 
use autoconfig to get the alternate queue type... 

I'd be interested in seeing any benchmarks on this as well....

Later...
