Filesystem vs. Raw IO

I just ran some tests and I was shocked at the results.  I assume I am
missing something very obvious.
 

Exporting data 2 million row table:

 

EMC disk on UFS filesystem: 50 sec

EMC disk raw space: 3 min 8 sec

NetApp disk UFS filesystem: 48 sec

NetApp disk raw space: 3 min 7 sec

 

What should I be looking at?  Why such a big difference?

 

I am running Oracle EE 9.2.0.3 on Solaris 2.8.

 

Thanks,

 

Rick Stephenson
