Nope, that doesn't count for confirmation.  It is at least theoretically
possible to implement raidz using techniques that would (a) unintelligently
stripe all blocks (even small ones) across multiple disks, thus hurting
performance on small operations, or (b) implement raidz such that striping
of blocks behaves differently for small operations (plus parity).  So the
confirmation I'm looking for would be somebody who knows the actual source
code, and the actual architecture that was chosen to implement raidz in this
case.
