Best Performance settings for filepro

I'm configuring my new set of drives on a new machine to run OSR 5 and 
filepro , and I noticed there's setting on the RAID controller that's 
called *stripe size* (stripe Depth) which is 64Kb by default, If I make it 
smaller , based on the fact that 100+ filepro users do many random things, 
would it make the machine faster? How about a 4Kb stripe size ?

One more thing the cache policy, Should it be Cached I/O or Direct I/O ?

and what about READ policy : Read-Ahead, Normal or Adaptive.


Thanks
