David,
Are you using LTO-3 tapes? An older gen tape could do it.
Also I have seen instances where /dev/zero is no longer a device but has turned
into
a file. Maybe a big file due to an incorrect "dd of=" option at some stage. From then on
your dd tests would be measuring your root disk performance.
