Richard, Good point. I was limited in my thinking to the sorts of arrays I might use at home being no wider than 3, 4 or 5 disks. However for our N-wide array as N approaches infinity so do the cycles required to run it. I don think that applies to the OP but I don't know that.
I said I thought the busiest CPU was the parity generation one, but in hindsight this cannot be correct, as it was almost maxed out at half the write speed the array achieved when it was empty.
