No. Sun's software RAID product (DiskSuite) will round-robin reads
over both sides of a mirror. While you will only see that performance
advantage if you have more than one thread reading from the device, it
nevertheless is faster than a single disk in that scenario. I don't
know what Linux software RAID does.
