Still fairly atrocious.  What about:
dd if=3D/dev/da1s1d of=3D/dev/null bs=3D2k count=3D5120
dd if=3D/dev/da1s1d of=3D/dev/null bs=3D16k count=3D640
dd if=3D/dev/da1s1d of=3D/dev/null bs=3D64k count=3D160

There's definitely something amiss on your system.  I don't have a SCSI
system at home but I see:

One last possibility:  Is something else hammering da1?  You might like
to have a look at iostat or systat -v and see if there's anything that
looks odd.
