While I see that the write speed as reported under .24 ~70MB/s is much
lower than the one reported under .23 ~200MB/s, I find it very hard to
believe my poor single SATA disk could actually do the 200MB/s for
longer than its cache 8/16 MB (not sure).

vmstat shows that actual IO is done, even though the whole 512MB could
fit in cache, hence my suspicion that the ~70MB/s is the most realistic
of the two.

Yeah, sequential 70MB/sec is quite realistic for a modern SATA drive.

But significantly faster than that (say, 100MB/sec +) is unlikely at present.
