[Networker] Why can't 'save' or 'savepnpc' write more ~7MB/Sec?

Hi All,

Through recent testing w/ a Hitachi 9970 and one FCAL 9840A, it was determined
that a single save stream could only drive ~7MB/Sec.  When multiple save
streams were implemented on the same filesystem, we where able to achieve
+25MB/Sec.

Is there any tuning that can be done so that one save stream can achieve max
throughput?

Thanks,
        /\/elson
