salsa: /home/davi# hdparm -tT /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   32 MB in  1.25 seconds =25.60 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  16 MB in  5.74 seconds = 2.79 MB/sec

I have that same figures, as you can see. It was unbelievable for me at
first, but unfortunately the fireball is neither fast nor reliable. I
intend to change the hole thing for a buslogic adapter and a western
digital disk (7200 rpm).
