The XFS was first created using default options and later on with
"-d su=64k,sw=2 -l su=64k" which improved overall performance
but not delete performance.

have you tried w/o using the hw raid?

I'am going to test with a single disk in the same machine.

this is what I got with a single disk (defaults for mkfs.xfs, logbufs=8 for
mount) in the same machine:

| # time for i in `seq 1 100000`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$i bs=1k count=20 >/dev/null 
2>&1; done
|
| real    11m22.487s
| user    0m30.278s
| sys     2m33.762s
| # time \rm -rf y
|
| real    8m20.963s
| user    0m0.056s
| sys     0m7.968s

So there is no improvement for a single disk.

Ciao,
Thomas

What kind of disks are you using? Maybe just slow disks??
