RAIDframe queues them in parallel. But maybe something in the kernel
searilizes them?

The RAID gets autoconfigured. But the configuration file I used for
creating it looked like this:

START array
1 2 0
START disks
/dev/wd0a
/dev/wd1a
START layout
128 1 1 1
START queue
fifo 100

Yes, me too. It should be slower by the latency it takes to deliver the
write to the second disk. But not by a factor of two.

It's not a stripe it's a mirror.
