Using hdparm -Tt /dev/hdb:

on 2.4:
~ Timing buffer-cache reads:   168 MB in  2.01 seconds =  83.58 MB/sec
~ Timing buffered disk reads:   44 MB in  3.12 seconds =  14.10 MB/sec
on 2.6.0:
~ Timing buffer-cache reads:   172 MB in  2.02 seconds =  84.95 MB/sec
~ Timing buffered disk reads:   34 MB in  3.08 seconds =  11.04 MB/sec
on 2.6.1:
~ Timing buffer-cache reads:   172 MB in  2.01 seconds =  85.14 MB/sec
~ Timing buffered disk reads:   44 MB in  3.07 seconds =  14.35 MB/sec

and that straight after boot, without any tweaking from hdparm.

Great job: many thanks!
