How is having the binaries on raid0 going to make the system niticeably more repsonsive? Raid1 does round-robin reading anyway. To make things faster, mount /usr noatime so no reads have to happen every time something is read. Unless you're short on ram, put /tmp on tmpfs. If you are short on ram, add more, then put /tmp on tmpfs. If the system crashes because of a drive failure, and your /home is on software raid1, what keeps the system crash from not crashing the software raid1, and the filesystem on top of it?
