What was it when the array was not degraded? 1000024 is a rather strange block size to use. Try a power of 2 and see if it makes a difference. I would expect large sequential writes to go at much the same speed as non-degraded, but smaller or non-aligned writes could certainly go more slowly - maybe half speed at a guess.
