I can't see the difference between equal mirrors and somehow interleaved
layout on RAID1. Since you have to seek anyways, there should be no
difference between both approaches once you read big enough chunks. The
problem with reading big chunks is: you probably read far too much when
you don't really need the data you did read. And vice versa: when you
don't read big chunks, it doesn't matter how your data is laid out.
