Ilya Murav'jov, thank you for performing the requested tests. Just to confirm, this problem is reproducible with the i386 iso, and upstream kernel, but not the amd64 iso and upstream kernel correct?

Such a speed is not ok, awfully slow. When I run two or more the same dd commands simultaneously, I have 1,2 Mb/s for every process. WORKAROUND: I have no such problems with the same IO stuff when loading Ubuntu Live 13.10 amd64, i.e. dd reports speed >= 400Mb/s for my SSD disk .
