The "hdparm doesn't get as high scores as in 2.4" is a old discussed to
death "problem" on LKML. So far nobody has been able to show it affects
anything but that pretty useless quasi-benchmark.
>>>No errors though, only sluggish system.
Really sluggish or just "benchmark-sluggish"?
If the former, try selecting a different IO elevator/sheduler.

Nothing wrong with 73% iowait
Beware 2.4 didn't export that statistic at all to userspace, so 0% iowait
gets reported from most 2.6-ready reporting tools on 2.4.

1. hdparm only gives you an indicator.
2. Really sluggish, as in unresponsive to commands.
3. Tried all IO elevators/shedulers to no avail.
4. In 2.4 IOWAIT is added to sys, as in 8% IOWAIT.
