On my system results of tests with FreeBSD 4.8 and FreeBSD
5.1 about same. Of course I used UFS2 filesystem on FreeBSD 5.1.

I am understand. But I executed performance test. So redundancy may be
achieved (in many cases) through elementary backup in simple case or
VINUM mirror in other cases. I tested RAID 1+0 - results are identical.
I not tested RAID-5 because now hard disks have low cost and using RAID-5
(on practice but not in theory) is unjustified. In many cases for low end
solution, used hardware RAID-5 without expensive RAID controllers, having
battery cache memory, bring to data loss.
