You need to give more accurate information. What are the "consumers" you =

mention? Maybe you mean the disks/components of the RAID?

Copy how? By "cp" from shell?

Due to the way raid3 works, it's by definition more CPU-intensive than=20
most other RAID levels, but it shouldn't be even remotely slow as that.=20
Also, since your load is > 2, what are the other CPU intensive tasks?
