Sorry... I should have mentioned that I'm running the 3.18.4 kernel with a 32 core xeon and 128G of memory. I'm not using a FS, I'm going directly to the raid block device.
I'm not sure if the parallelization of raid parity has been merged yet, but I'm pretty sure it isn't in 3.18. With one core tied up computing parity and the rest idle, that'd be 96.875% idle. Phil
