The system bus isn't a limiting factor is it?  64-bit PCI-X will get 
8.5 GB/s (plenty), but 32-bit PCI 33MHz got 133MB/s.

Can your disks sustain that much bandwidth? 10 striped drives might get 
better than 200MB/s if done right, I suppose.

        

  
It might make sense to test raw writes to a device with dd and see if
that gets comparable performance figures - I'll just try that myself
actually.
    

write throughput to EVA 8000 (8GB write cache), host DL380 with 2x2Gb/s
HBAs, 2GB RAM

testing 4GB files:

on filesystems: bonnie++ -d /mnt/tmp -s 4g -f -n 0 -u root

ext3: 129MB/s sd=0.43
  
I presume this is with journal=ordered.  Try with journel=writeback.  I've seen benchmarks which suggest it can be close to the speed of ext2.
