i guess i am not convinced.  with a 1G cache, i saw the following:

2.4.20(ish), SMP

        relax.12% /usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero bs=8k count=700000 of=test.file4
        700000+0 records in
        700000+0 records out
        2.09user 208.03system 8:56.79elapsed 39%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 
0maxresident)k
        0inputs+0outputs (159major+16minor)pagefaults 0swaps

2.6.13-rc3, SMP, PREEMPT

        relax% /usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero bs=8k count=700000 of=test.file4
        700000+0 records in
        700000+0 records out
        1.90user 211.66system 9:10.51elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 
0maxresident)k
        0inputs+0outputs (0major+130minor)pagefaults 0swaps

these results are practically the same.
