So *17MB/s reads*, and *4.55MB/s writes*. Write speed is probably this low because the rootfs sits on a fast ethernet NFS share network. Which "coincidentally" is roughly half the NFS share's network speed. Reads from a Windows 7 x64 based iperf server is just under 15MB/s, but with no real way to serve up a Linux type filesystem.
