Well, the driver may be doing something wrong then.
How much ram in the system? Was this on the nvidia or sil sata
controller (I forget since I have seen questions about both in the last
few days).

Yes the HW raid is often slower at throughput, but much lower cpu use
than software raid5 can ever have.
