I think they are idle (looking at vmstat -i), but i can't be sure.
However i have 2 machines here with VIA 82C596 chipset...

# dmesg |grep ata

It's idle (the LED isn't blinking after/before dd and vmstat -i doesn't
show any ata0 activity).

Even my Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller with the same disk performs better (a
little)...

Bye
