Yep, that sucks. Now what what does bonnie++ say?

Steve, show your math on how you calculated 58MB/sec from two timed processes. On an array on one of my servers, I show that the time approximately doubles when running two processes instead of each by themselves. That still yields about the same throughput.
OK.
131072*4k = 524,288k per dd process.
There are two of these processes running simultaneously, for a total 1,048,576k of data.
1,048,576k / 1024k/M = 1024MB
The dd's came back with wall clock times of 17.1 seconds and 18.85 seconds. So the entire operation took a total of 18.85 seconds to read 1024MB of data.
1024MB /18.85sec = 54.3MB/sec
Thanks, Steve
