[Dovecot] RAID benchmarks

[Ethan Sommer]

I created 3 mirrors of 2 drives and then striped them.

I will attempt to do the benchmark again by setting the level to 10.

Are you suggesting that you would expect performance to bet better or 
worse with linux's raid 10 with 2 mirrors and an even number of drives?
