RAID5 is not good for keeping the online log files. Put them in a RAID1 partition (striped) and use the inbuilt mirroring in ORACLE to safekeep them (you may need 2 RAID1 partitions). Missing that, put them in a NTFS or FAT partition but not in RAID5.

This will not improve the performance dramatically. You'r better off looking at what is running via CM and how well tuned the code is, rather than fiddling with the hardware. You stand to gain more.
