I haven't thought about that, but my first impression is that LVM
won't make any great difference. The data get stored where the data
get stored, if you see what I mean. How they're organised is in the
implementation layers. (Am I making sense? It's getting late here.)

Yea, I see the point. I was even thinking that if LVM is on multiple
drives and the a lv was spanned across two or more drives, then it could
even be faster. Data spanned across two or more drives could result in
it reading more data faster since both drives are collecting data at
about the same time.
But then again, it depends on how the data is spread out too. I guess
it is six of one and half a dozen of the other.
