I don't see anything wrong with the figures from that log.

The only other thing I can think of to check is to ensure that DMA is
enabled and supported on your drive. atacontrol cap is supposed to
tell you if DMA is supported, and sysctl hw.ata will tell you if DMA
is enabled in the kernel driver.

I don't know the details on how to enable DMA if it is disabled,
unfortunately. I would expect it would need to be something in the
loader, rather than a run-time tunable.
