The underlying disk system itself is probably the bottleneck so
distributing access isn't likely to help performance that much anyway.
I'd expect bigger gains from beefing up the storage unit (make the raid
distribute over more drives, don't share those drives with other work,
use a controller with battery-backed buffering, etc.).
