Below is a simplified version of the test program, and results of
testing different kernels/filesystems/mount options. The results are a
little different from the ones described in the initial post (this
time performance decreased "only" 2 times), but the general tendency
is clearly the same.
============ 2.6.19-rc5-git2 ============
mount -t xfs -o noatime,barrier /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disc
real 16m40.516s
user 0m17.989s
sys 9m36.320s
mount -t xfs -o noatime,nobarrier /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disc
real 15m40.212s
user 0m17.549s
sys 9m29.692s
mount -t ext3 -o noatime /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disc
real 49m44.728s
user 0m27.678s

============ 2.6.14.6 ============
mount -t xfs -o noatime /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disc
