max_sectors_kb is probably your key. On my system I get twice the read
performance by just reducing max_sectors_kb from default 512 to 192.
Can you do a fresh reboot to shell and then:
$ cat /sys/block/hda/queue/*
$ cat /proc/meminfo
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10240
$ echo 192 > /sys/block/hda/queue/max_sectors_kb
$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10240
Thanks!
