You're getting 40MB/s write speed and says that's fine? I get more 
performance from a single SATA desktop drive. Your setup seems to suck 
extremely somewhere.

It already starts with your dd speed. I started it on a virtualized VM 
on an old, overloaded server and get:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dd bs=1k count=1M
1048576+0 Datensätze ein
1048576+0 Datensätze aus
1073741824 Bytes (1,1 GB) kopiert, 10,9992 s, 97,6 MB/s

I would say this is melted with cache hit, isn't it ? (although I agree it depends on the server's memory dedicated to FS cache)

A real cache hit on a real server would give me at least 500 MB/s (actually I get something around 1 GB/s)
When it starts to be disk-constrained, on a standard SATA disk, I get from 75 MB/s to 140 MB/s depending on the position of the AG I hit.
