At the end of /usr/src/linux/Documentation/md.txt it specifically says 
that stripe_cache_size is raid5 specific, and it made sense to me, as 
caching stuff to avoid re-doing parity is beneficial. I will test later 
today trying to set the cache higher. Are there any guidelines on how 
large should it be in relation to the chunk size/number of drives for 
raid10?
