It might be that altering the Clariion array from RAID 5 to RAID 1+0
would make a difference; but I'd be very surprised to learn that you
could get that array to go a whole lot faster.

One thing that might also be worth investigating is whether
performance actually goes up by moveing the WAL into the array.
We've had some remarkably good experiences with our recently-acquired
EMC.
