This can only be the case on a Promise controller, I have allready
committed a fix for that (it always selected PIO mode).
A current quick test on a 5400RPM IBM disk shows:
IOZONE performance measurements:
9768393 bytes/second for writing the file
11820143 bytes/second for reading the file
Remember that we have lost significant I/O bandwidth currently due
to changes in vfs_bio and freinds.
