I've done -X udma2 and it did a _massive_ performance drop.
root@lfs:/home/mb> hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.31 seconds =417.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.24 seconds = 19.73 MB/sec
"Timing buffered disk reads" is only as half as fast as without udma2.
I've made a new profile with udma2 enabled and appended it.
The system-performance while dd is way better now, but still not as
good as in 2.4
But for what price? Now I have a disk-speed like DMA-33. :) (on a
DMA-100 controller)
