[LAU] Software RAID for Ardour?

I wondered what the prevalent opinion was about setting up a software 
raid mirror of two sata drives under Linux LVM.  This is on a 3.2GHz 
quad core AMD system that almost certainly has plenty of free CPU.  Will 
this provide extra disk i/o that could be usefully applied to getting 
more simultaneous tracks, or will using a software mirror interfere with 
the RT kernel or cause latency issues/instability somewhere?
