Just one kernel version? The problem here is in every
kernel revision after 551c012d7eea3dc5ec063c7ff9c718d39e77634f
2.6.20-rc2,rc3,rc4,rc5,rc6,rc7 ... 2.6.20 ... 2.6.21 ... 2.6.22-rc5
noop:
Timing buffered disk reads: 254 MB in 3.00 seconds = 84.66 MB/sec
anticipatory:
Timing buffered disk reads: 252 MB in 3.02 seconds = 83.43 MB/sec
deadline:
Timing buffered disk reads: 258 MB in 3.02 seconds = 85.41 MB/sec
cfq:
Timing buffered disk reads: 194 MB in 3.03 seconds = 64.06 MB/sec
The normal value is cfq. So, all other schedulars are somewhat faster,
but still far from the correct 165 MB/s.
