On my notebook (fujitsu-siemens amilopro v3505):

writing large file on a pendrive:

------------------ noop ------------------

elapsed: 19' 31"

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
           4.77    0.00   14.39   49.16    0.00   35.82

no slowdown, all good...

------------------ anticipatory ------------------

elapsed: 19' 24"

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
           4.04    0.00   12.87   53.54    0.00   31.16

minor slodown moving windows or writing to the internal disk.

------------------ deadline ------------------

elapsed: 19' 44"

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
           6.76    0.00   10.38   46.15    0.00   37.59

minor slodown moving windows or writing to the internal disk.

------------------ cfq ------------------

Elapsed: 27' 35"

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
           0.59    0.00   10.12   88.76    0.00    1.29

everything is slow, and some time locked...

-------------------------------------------

What I can say is that at home, yesterday, I never
seen the iowait over 40%.

The fact that it does not happen on every pc explain why
cfq is the default...
