[ snipped long email ]

You've posted this to the wrong list.  Although there could be minor
performance differences in the aic7xxx driver in the latest 2.2 kernel and the
latest 2.4-test kernel, there would *not* be the kind of difference you have
listed in your email.  In actuality, the kind of differences listed in your
email appear to be strictly of the "the 2.4 kernels aren't doing aggressive
read-ahead any more and my sequential input numbers are sucking as a result"
variety.  I would suggest reposting your email to the
linux-scsi@vger.rutgers.edu and also to the linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu
mailing list since this would be far more topical on either of those lists and
since the problem could theoretically reside in either of those areas, they
are both somewhat appropriate.
