:- irq21 seems to always carry about half of the number of interrupts atapci1 
is carrying.

:- over large periods, the % busy of ad6 is at 100%, servicing maybe 350 or 
even 800 requests/sec.  I/O speed then is around 3-10 MB/sec.  this is with 
1.10 and SMP.  I'll try compiling a old-ata kernel now.

    I don't think an I/O scheduler will help.  You are maxing out the hard
    drive with your workload.  MB/sec is irrelevant... the workload is 
    causing the disk to seek a lot.
