Read from the same disk? If you're interleaving every write with a read from this file, how many back-forth seeks do you think your disk is doing?

HDD: 2 x 750 GB SATA 2 (RAID1)

Hint hint hint.

What insert rate should i expect on a normal Debian 6.0 64 bit
installation (no tweaks) ?

450 inserts/second. Or, if you address some of the points I mentioned earlier, perhaps 2000-4000/sec, depending on write characteristics. Most people find performance improves linearly with nodes, so long as the network is not the bottleneck.

Our six-node cluster (bitcask-dedicated SSDs, 2x bonded gige, 2:1 read:write ratio, median value ~10 kB, n_val 3, typical r/w: quorum) tops out at about 3,000 aggregate ops/sec while maintaining reasonable (~10ms 99%) latencies. I can push it higher if I relax latency constraints.

I can only compare it with other DBs i have tested on the same machine:
ex: mongodb, kyototycoon

These databases solve different problems in different ways. You should expect them to perform differently. The question is: for your workload, what balance of raw IOPS, redundancy, availability, latency, and conflict handling model fits best? Riak trades IOPS for availability and redundancy, and trades MVCC/locking for vclock resolution.
