A lot of people bag raid-5 but for "read only"
environments its fine. The initial load may suffer a
bit - but for this, if you can isolate your redo logs
onto something other than the raid-5 then you should
see large benefits.
Also if its ONLY raid-5 then that would suggest the
the OS and swap/paging space will be in the mix as
well. You'll want to do you best (particular with the
swap) to ensure that this doesn't get out of hand..
