Yup. It blew my mind. I started out with our servers running RAID 10 and things were o.k., moved to raid 5 (and am building new pxeboot images to support the raid6 card) and wowsers.

Here's a good whitepaper from 3ware on the topic:
http://www.3ware.com/kb/attachments/Linux2.6WP_0701.pdf
And a knowledgebase article on tuning from them:
http://www.3ware.com/kb/article.aspx?id=11050

these are the results:

All of our database servers are
supermicro 6025T
dual Xeon 5000 3.0Ghz Dual Core
8GB RAM
8 320GB Seagate Perpendicular Drives
3ware 9550SX/9650
