That's weird:

Disk 0:

(ahc0:0:0): "CONNER CFP1060S 1.05GB 1823" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access
sd0(ahc0:0:0): 1013MB (2074880 512 byte sectors)

        IOZONE: Performance Test of Sequential File I/O  --  V2.01 (10/21/94)
                By Bill Norcott

        Operating System: FreeBSD 2.x -- using fsync()

        IOZONE writes a 32 Megabyte sequential file consisting of
        65536 records which are each 512 bytes in length.
        It then reads the file.  It prints the bytes-per-second
        rate at which the computer can read and write files.


Writing the 32 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...15.546875 seconds
Reading the file...10.906250 seconds

IOZONE performance measurements:
        2158275 bytes/second for writing the file
        3076624 bytes/second for reading the file

Disk 1:

(ahc0:1:0): "FUJITSU M1603S-512 6404" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd1(ahc0:1:0): Direct-Access
sd1(ahc0:1:0): 519MB (1064268 512 byte sectors)

IOZONE performance measurements:
        2183511 bytes/second for writing the file
        3555436 bytes/second for reading the file

In both cases, it was at least 42% faster for reading than writing...
