If the single drive case is correct, then we can focus on raid.
I have not enough space to perform this test on the ide drive, so I did it on the sata (single disk). The patch doesn't seem to be better. (But on the other hand I haven't tested you first version on single disk.) At least it still doesn't look good enough in my eyes.

What I don't like about the time sliced cfq (first version as well) is that I don't get good sustained rate anymore if I have only one writer and nothing else. IIRC with plain cfq I at least got near to maximum throughput (40-50mb/sec) now it oscillates much more. I have to recheck with plain cfq though. It might be ext3 related...
