realizing dbench is blissfully ignorant of the system (2GB RAM),
for grins I ran "dbench 500" to see what would happen. The throughput
rate dbench reported continued to decline to ~20MB/s. This is about what
I would expect for one disk a 40MB/s SCSI bus.
Then dbench started spewing errors:

NFC what that's all about. sorry - I have to punt on digging deeper.
I really need more guidance on
(a) how much memory I should be testing with
(b) how many spindles would be useful (I've got ~15 on each box)
(c) how to tell dbench to use the FS mounted on the target disks.
I've attached the iommu stats in case anyone finds that useful.
