What does "modinfo 3w-9xxx" give you?
The driver for release 9.2.1.1 is 2.26.03.019[fw]. If you're
not running that version, grab the driver source and rebuild,
add the module to your tree and create a new initrd. If you
need some help in doing that, just let me know.

I haven't deployed but one (1) system with a 3Ware Escalade
9500S, so my exposure to the 9500S line has been limited. I
have deployed countless Escalade 6000-8000 series products
though.

Yeah, it looks like it is probably unrelated to the 3Ware
card. But still, take the time to read the whitepaper on
performance with the 9000 series -- and the couple of tweaks
they recommend.
The Linux kernel VM/buffer defaults _never_ assume there is
an on-board storage intelligence that can command and queue a
lot closer to the hardware than it can. ;->
