The RAID takes a lot of CPU overhead that normal disk access doesn't.
You failed to mention what CPU speed you were running. Also, if you are
running sufficient RAM. I typically don't run on less than a K6-200 with
64MB of RAM. Most of my servers have at least 96MB RAM, my latest server
is running 1GB of RAM and dual Pentium 400's (for Oracle8).
