If you had to reinstall, you may have missed a boot loader configuration. I 
would investigate how your raid5 went to MIRROR, that would certainly account 
for the high system time if the OS and raid card think differently about the 
raid system used.
How you'd go about this, is for someone else to answer. I personally would 
compare daily runs and dmesg's saved from before reinstall with current 
installation.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
