Registry absolutely destroys SQL in testing; the only reasons to use
SQL are manageability and integration with other apps. NT SAM/AD
integration varies depending on size of the directory, from as fast as
Registry to slower than SQL in extreme cases.
You should not be using RAID 5 on a mailserver. RAID 1 or 10 are
appropriate.
