Out of curiosity, how would a PCI-RAID (SCSI) adapter compare with
vanilla PCI-SCSI cards and vinum?  It seems to me that the host CPU(s)
are much faster than the processors on the PCI-SCSI adapters.  Or are
both of these "fast-enough" and thus performance differences are largely
an irrelevent consideration?  (They both have similar software issues
but I suspect vinum is easier to debug. :)
