Just some results of testing the comparison of wd and ata:

Both bonnie tests were run on a freshly booted machine, P133,
64M RAM, running X and netscape, but only Bonnie active:

It may be worth testing with a larger file, freshly booted, with no X
running.

For reference, here is output of dmesg from my system:
