What was the command line you used for that output?
tiobench.. ?
tiobench --numruns 3 --threads 1 --threads 2 --block 4096 --size 20000

--size 20000 because the server has 16 GB RAM.

Here is my output on my SW RAID5 keep in mind it is currently being used so the numbers are a little slower than they probably should be:

My machine only has 8 GiB of memory but I used the same command you did:

This is with the 2.6.22.6 kernel, the 2.6.23-rcX/final when released is supposed to have the SW RAID5 accelerator code, correct?

Unit information
================
File size = megabytes
Blk Size  = bytes
Rate      = megabytes per second
CPU%      = percentage of CPU used during the test
Latency   = milliseconds
Lat%      = percent of requests that took longer than X seconds
CPU Eff   = Rate divided by CPU% - throughput per cpu load
