Sorry! lest=except ; t/o=timeout

It's dependent on STR only. STD works fine. DRM seems irrelevant to this 
problem.

Please bare with me, as I am not really verse in English.

Yes, in mainline a kernel compiled with HZ=100 takes 4 times as long to run 
lilo as it would take for a kernel compiled with HZ=1000.  This problem does 
not exist in mm.

Also, 

	hdparm -tT /dev/hda
	cat /dev/hda > /dev/null
	dd < /dev/hda > /dev/null

get ~30% improved throughput when setting

	echo 192 > /sys/block/hda/queue/max_sectors_kb
	echo 192 > /sys/block/hda/queue/read_ahead_kb

whereas anything outside 132-255 affects throughput negatively.
Is this a bug?

Thanks!
