I had no idea it was actually faster than using a hardware RAID controller.

All I'm saying is that it could be under certain circumstances, not that it is. Those circumstances are basically when the throughput is limited by the IO bandwidth, the software RAID drives span multiple HBAs (where a hardware RAID cannot), and the RAID involved is utilizing striping (RAIDs 3, 4, and 5, and possibly 0, depending on implementation specifics, notably, whether it's really RAID0 or they're misappropriating the term for a JBOD).
