>Description:
We are experience extremly slow disk performance.

We have set hw.ata.wc="1" in /boot/loader.conf which has impoved performance but still when extrating a tar archive we are seeing in the region of 3,000 files per minute extracted, when on our other machine which runs 4.0 we are seeing 10,000 to 15,000 files per minute.

The Mother board is Elite D6VAA the disk drives are IBM 5200 spin, ATA66

Help!
