I'd like to thank everyone who responded, and I didn't mean to start a software vs hardware war. But now that I did I'm sort of happy, because it's made me question if my direction is proper for my goals.
Not your fault, it's inevitable ;-)
- I'm using a (fairly) old machine, I have to figure processor speed has to be an issue with software raid - When the box is being stressed most of the work is computational, the process I run puts the CPU% at 98% (according to top).
98% cpu doing just raid 1? That sounds highly strange, even on an older CPU.
Typically RAID1 doesn't stress the cpu as much as PCI bus bandwidth and the drives...
