RAID 1+0 vs. RAID 1

I'm considering RAID for a future server. From what I read, RAID 5 burns up all its time in parity generation. I also read that in RAID 1, only one drive is touched unless it fails. RAID 1+0 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1.

Even though RAID 1+0 only has 50% storage efficency, wouldn't it be faster than just plain RAID 1 because of the higher throughput gained by reading off of multiple disks at once?
