After thinking about your question for a minute, I think I found the obvious 
reason for that.  Raid1 being a mirror set it does not make sense to 
interleave anything. Either disk1 reads it first or disk2 reads it first. 
Once you get the data from either disk, then you're done; no need to wait for 
the second disk (giving you the identical datablock).  
Interleaving only makes sense with other raid levels, but not with level 1.
