"that is not true. mirroring gives you double the read speed and half the write speed.

Does it split the data between disks and then sync them later?
No. You write 2x, remember. ;P Your write speed, best case and assuming no other bottlenecks (say an IDE a drive sharing the same controller with another IDE drive, esp. in the same mirror set) will be only as fast as the slowest drive in write mode.
