+The read-only sysctl 
+.Va hw.aac.iosize_max
+defautls to 65536 and may be set at boot time to another value via
+.Xr loader 8 .
+This value determines the maximum data transfer size allowed
+to/from an array.  Setting it higher will result in better performance,
+especially for large sequential access patterns.  BEWARE: internal limitations
+of the card limit this value to 64K for arrays with many members.  While it
+may be safe to raise this value, do so AT YOUR OWN RISK.  Note also that
+performance peaks at a value of 96K, and drops off dramatically at 128K, due
+to other limitations of the card.
