No, mdraid 1 is mdraid 1.

Process X is utilizing only one single disk, so no performance gain.
But if you have 2 processes in parallel, then you potentially have a gain, because the process Y can read from another disk.
process X -> disk 0
process Y -> disk 1

Yes, mdraid 10 could be a solution for the "1 process should utilize more than one disk" goal.
I haven't tried it though, what a shame.
Why is that far copies thing important?
