UDMA4 is udma66 I believe not horrible but about half the speed of a
UDMA6 or udma133 drive. Maybe my data will be of help
sudo /sbin/hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.38 seconds =340.43 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.15 seconds = 55.70 MB/s
sudo /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Model=Maxtor 6Y080P0, FwRev=YAR41BW0, SerialNo=Y2TW28LE
Config={ Fixed }

And from /etc/init.d/hdparm:
start() {

/sbin/hdparm -d1 -Xudma6 -i -v -t /dev/hda
eend

It might be slowww but more likely there is something missing. Is it on
the same IDE cable as a CD-ROM drive? Is it actually a udma100 drive on
a 40 conductor cable?
I just looked again at your hdparm -i. I notice that your BuffSize is
listed as 418kB> This could be your major problem.
