Default WAFL writing accross the raid group in a aggregate

I believe that if a aggregate has more than one raid group then data
writing will be accross all the raid group in horizontal fashion. So
if have bigger aggregate then better throughput due to more spindles.

First any comment on this. Whether I am right or not ?

If I check disk utilizations through statit then sometime I found that
data-transfer command issued per second is not almost equivalent on
the disks accross the raid group in a single aggregate.

For ex. see below :

disk ut% xfers ureads--chain-usecs writes--chain-usecs cpreads-
chain-usecs greads--chain-usecs gwrites-chain-usecs

Here rg0 has less data-transfer command issued per second than rg1 but
both rg0 and rg1 are part of a single aggregate called aggr1.

Please comment on it why it is so ?
