Hello all,

So would I be correct in concluding that I am CPU bound at this point?  My
machine is busy creating the parity information so can not receive any
faster.  A CPU replacement is in order but I have one question in that
direction.  It appears that the md0 process is only using one core.  Is
this because it is a single file being written?  Should it be using both?

The main thrust of this question is which type of CPU upgrade will help my
situation.  I could go for a faster MHz or more cores.  Actually, I can't
go much faster on the MHz front.  I think 3.4GHz is max and I'm at 3.0GHz.

As always, thank you for all your advice.
