I finally figured out my slowdown problem: I had somehow turned off write-caching on the 3Ware controller. Hoo-Boy! Does that kill throughput! What the heck is that option for anyway?
Err... are you sure you want to turn on write-caching? You will have filesystem corruption in case of a power-down, panic or other crashes then. It does help to have a battery backup on the 3ware card, assuming it is smart enough to write the changes to disk before the OS starts.
