Not if implemented correctly. If done right, RAID 0 will get all disks
worth of data in parallel (up to a certain point, depending on SCSI level,
media transfer rate and system bus at a minimum)...since the media transfer
rate of the disks is far less than the SCSI bus and the PCI (if used) bus.
There is really no "munching", it's purely reading (or writing) an entire
file...before any real "munching" is done.
