IBM-DTLA-307045 very slow under 2.2.x

I have a SOYO "SY-5EMA+ Super 7" motherboard, with a K6-2 processor. The 45 Gig IBM drive hangs the BIOS if I let it autodetect it, so I turn off autodetection for IDE2 primary where it sits. This is probably not relevant. My problem is that "hdparm -tT dev/hdc" gives atrocious performance:- /d
