That hasn't been true in Linux for a number of years. Given a "modern"
machine (less than 2-5 years old) _and sufficient ram_, Linux software
raid is a great deal faster than most cheap dedicated hardware controllers
without having any noticable CPU load.


HOWEVER: as noted by others, Windows software raid performance is very
poor....
