Since then I replaced all my 3ware controllers with Areca controllers and

care for reliability, btw) but they where noticably faster.

FWIW, the Areca models 1222 and 1680 both have IOP348 processors on the 
card...  I've worked with that processor, it is fast(!) and has a bunch 
of SATA ports on it.  Wonder if they are running soft-raid on the 
"hardware" controller card?
