7. And now, the question: the best absolute 'write' performance comes
with a stripe_cache_size value of 4096 (for my setup). However, any
value of stripe_cache_size above 384 really, really hurts 'check' (and
rebuild, one can assume) performance.  Why?

Question:
After performance goes "bad" does it go back up if you reduce the size
back down to 384?
