Whoa! I hacked RAID3 to do something like this while reading (for 3
components):

	disk0+disk1
	disk0+(disk0^disk2)
	disk1+(disk1^disk2)
	disk0+disk1
	disk0+(disk0^disk2)
	disk1+(disk1^disk2)
	[...]

And results are really impressive:

RAID3 with new reading algorithm:
		Number of	Bytes per	Requests per
Operations	processes	second		second
----------------------------------------------------------------------
READ		3		8412626		126
READ		15		12083590	181
READ		100		15104488	227

This is more than 40% of speed-up for 100 processes!
