More importantly since the original post was concerned with imporving
disk performance may I suggest that you check out the manual page for
hdparm which is used to tweak hard drive performance paramaters, be
warned though if you have dodgy hardware it may cause data
corruption. It works great for me ;)
My settings for your information:
/sbin/hdparm -d 1 -c 1 -A 1 -m 16 -k 1 /dev/hda
