No, that's MegaBytes/second and it is accurate for LTO4 If you are only achieving 7.8 MBytes/second then there is soemthing seriously wrong with your setup. Have you tried benchmarking tape speeds using btape? LTO has very good hardware compression and I wouldn't evenn bother with software compression as the general experience is that it will slow things up - a LOT.
