How is having the binaries on raid0 going to make the system niticeably
more repsonsive? Raid1 does round-robin reading anyway. To make things
faster, mount /usr noatime so no reads have to happen every time
something is read.
Unless you're short on ram, put /tmp on tmpfs.
If you are short on ram, add more, then put /tmp on tmpfs.
If the system crashes because of a drive failure, and your /home is on
software raid1, what keeps the system crash from not crashing the
software raid1, and the filesystem on top of it?
