Attached you find some results that I get during some tests that I performed on 
different servers by different customers (notice that I had no influence on the 
setup, I just run a test script...).

As you can see many different behaviors are to be expected.

System 1: higher values are better, of course they are "technical" limits... 
(notice that 55MB/s is the maximum throughput measured on this system, i.e. 
with DFMRC=32). 

System 2: values higher than 16 give bad performance, i.e. the optimal value is 
16.

System 3: values less than 17 are useless, i.e. at least 17 should be used to 
have "correct" performance.

System 4: no performance difference was measured. Notice that this system, with 
230MB/s, is also the faster I tested...
