Thanks, but if there is way to query for this, how do you know, I'm running at full speed?

I just found: http://sourceforge.net/projects/array-info/ (unchanged in 3 years) and additional patches for it at: http://members.aon.at/hstraub/linux/array-info/ I'll try that and, maybe, the HP's Linux binaries too.
