  According to the below white paper, they were able to get near-raw 
performance on AIX with the Concurrent I/O option:

  I've also had good/excellent performance with concurrent I/O, but never 
compared it to raw so I can't really say how the two would stack up.

  I am writing a recommendation for one of my clients on using raw versus 
cooked filesystems for Oracle data files.  Have you come across any recent 
documents regarding this topic?
