Raid 10 experience

[Anonymous]

Hi.
In the Software Raid HOWTO the statistics indicate that Raid-10 while
faster than Raid-5 is slower than Raid-0. I'm surprised that this is the
case - does anyone have any other experience with Raid 10 ? If you have
the disk space it sounds like a nice fast option but with redundancy.
I'm keen to try it out if I can borrow a 4-disk system, I'll let the
list know...
