Mostly, yes. Traditionl RAID-5 is likely to be faster than ZFS because of ZFS doing checksumming, having the ZIL etc, but then, trad raid5 won't have the safety offered by ZFS
The biggest difference is almost surely that ZFS will always construct/read full filesystem blocks (default 128K). Traditional RAID-5 does not need to do that for small reads.
