The amazing speed of the new ATA driver? Were you using 32 bit transfers
and multi-sector IO with the older driver?

I assumed from the benchmarks posted that I had no reason to feel
alarmed about the fact that the new driver offered no tangible
performance increase.

My understanding was that we'd "feel it" when DMA transfers were enabled
for those drives that support them.

Am I confused (yet again)?
