Am running FBSD 4.5-RELEASE

On one of the servers, am having very slow real dd copy speed vs test and
don't know why. Below is the test first made that shows 25MB/s but the real
dd copy is only doing about half the speed. Other servers are matching the
test. Wonder what is wrong with this machine I/O....??
