Thanks for the suggestion. I would if I could. I'd also probably try another file system. Though the good news is, enabling the write cache on that array has improved things significantly. Which, in my case, was:
tw_cli /c2/u0 set cache=on
Now, if only I had the battery backup unit for the card.
Thanks, everyone for their suggestions. For now I am happy with the situation, but I'd be interested to hear the experiences of others.

use RAID 10
Unless something has changed, RAID 5 is notoriously slow on the 3Ware controllers. Whatever you do will only incrementally speed things up. If performance is desired, RAID 5 is not the way to go.
