Inconsistent IO performance

For some time I have seen very odd issues with IO performance on 8-Stable. Going back to November of last year when 8.0 was released, I see variations of up to 22% in identical operations. This is not a degradation as the performance moves up and down. This is a very simplistic case. I have two

The deviation in your disk I/O isn't a major surprise (to me anyway), given the system specs. What *does* surprise me is your abysmal I/O speeds in general. 18MB/sec min, 24MB/sec max?! ICH6-M can do a lot more than that. Something isn't right. it's possible that the hw is...suboptimal.
