I just ran again, and for some reason it looks fine now...  I have no 
idea what I did to get the lower numbers initially, perhaps an 
inadvertant IO scheduler change.  Service commit times are .28ms and I 
can drive ~58MB/sec with just 16k requests on xen0.  I'll do some more 
tests to get a more consistent picture.
