The quickest way to boost disk read speed is to run a raid-1 config, because both disks can be read from alternately -- whichever one has the sector needed closest to the heads gets used.
Did you mean to say RAID-0? 1 is for mirroring. As for the closest sector remark, heh, what the heck are you talking about? If he had an 8 year old 1GB IDE hard drive it *wouldn't* cause the map changes to take 30~40 seconds. There is nothing wrong with his hardware for the type of server he is running.
