Titanium spokes- BREAK???

Hi

I'm a bit behind the times-tech wise-so maybe someone can tell me
Are Titanium spokes known to break more commonly than "normal spokes" assuming normal spokes are SS?

i ask because I have had 5 spoke breakages on a used rear wheel-XTR hub-517 rim-titanium spokes- 26" wheel
Now 6 broken spokes in maybe 5000 miles
but these are easy miles-I ride to levee-then grind up and down levee maybe 14 times-ride home
Other wheels-no broken spokes
Thanks
charlie
