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, it's not a problem with hdparm. hdparm only shows that there is _really_ a problem:

2.6.12
root@pentium:/home/rainbow# time dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=512
count=1048576
1048576+0 records in
1048576+0 records out

real    0m32.339s
user    0m1.500s
sys     0m14.560s

2.4.26
root@pentium:/home/rainbow# time dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=512

1048576+0 records in
1048576+0 records out
