Poor RAID 5 performance

I have just build a new machine with RAID 5 with 3 x WD5000AAKS drives. However on benchmarking my system they don't seem to be performing like they should.

The 1st image shows the benchmark I did first and then the 2nd image is the latter benchmark I did a few hours later. Is there any way I can check the status of the array, and also is there anything I can do to increase the speed of the array?

I am running the array on a Abit IP35 Pro board with 64kb strips.

I'm pretty new to this whole RAID thing so you'll have to bear with me.
