about disk reading perfs... i belive that your current system load effects the numbers you get with /hdparm -t /dev/hda/.
on duron 1G, 512mb ram, 40 gig ide maxtor 7200rpm, dma on this poor, i think
/(under -> /load average: 1.64, 1.51, 1.29/ )


hdparm -t /dev/hda/
Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  7.88 seconds =  8.12 MB/sec

Polar,
Given your results below, I decided to test my own. I'm finding much
poorer results (So, count your blessings). My laptop results are:

# ./hdparm -acd /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
using_dma    =  1 (on)
readahead    =  8 (on)

# ./hdparm -t /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  5.00 seconds = 12.79 MB/sec

My server, rather old dual PII with SCSI disks:

# hdparm -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  6.33 seconds = 10.11 MB/sec

This is disappointing to say the least, but how can one improve these
speeds? Anyone?

/dev/md0:
Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  1.58 seconds = 40.50 MB/sec
/dev/hdd:
Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  2.94 seconds = 21.74 MB/sec
