I doubt this would help much really. If you're reading sequential data

Only if your stripe size is smaller than your bandwidth x seek time.
Break even stripe size for 100MB/s 10ms disks would be 1 MB, so it
might work well with 4-10 MB stripes provided the IO stack is up to it?
10ms is the full stroke seek time, I suspect for smaller chunks/seeks
the time would be *much* shorter...
