That seems like a pretty crazy drop in performance, more than one would expect. The machine is busy but not busy enough to warrant this.. Imo.. Is there a way to test to confirm?

the OS and performance is very poor. When I run systat I see
upward of 300 tps on the problematic array (da2) and under systat -
vmstat :
It's normal for RAID-5 to perform worse than a single drive-- and
sometimes it performs much worse, as in nearly an order of magnitude
slower, for the case of very small writes. If you value performance,
choose another RAID level like RAID-0, RAID-1, or RAID-10.
