hello Mr. gandhi,
hit,
hdparm -i /dev/hdx
and in the information look for your harddisks support for DMA.
If present hit the following command to enable DMA,
hdparm -d[1-5] /dev/hdx
better if you are using redhat kind systems peek into the sysconfig
directory.. Tuning the harddisk using hdparm has given major difference in
terms of performance for me BUT do remember what you are doing.
wrong arguments can damage your disk.

OH! A FORTUNE.
Gratitude and treachery are merely the two extremities of the same procession.
You have seen all of it that is worth staying for when the band and the gaudy
officials have gone by.
