what's your kernel version? I recall that recently there have been
some works regarding load balancing.

It was in my original email:
The kernel is 2.6.23

Strange I missed the new raid10 development you
mentioned (I follow linux-raid quite closely).
What change(s) you're referring to?

oh sorry it was a patch for raid1, not raid10:

I'm wondering if it could be adapted for raid10 ...

This patch adds RAID1 read balancing to device mapper. A read operation
that is close (in terms of sectors) to a previous read or write goes to 
the same mirror.
