Shouldn't be too different from RAID-5, at least as long as you have
reasonably large I/O transactions.
However, unless someone can actually test it out, it's hard to say.
Note that supporting RMW on RAID-6 is definitely a possibility; I tried it
once on a 6-disk configuration (the only one I have) and it was slower.
