Hmm, it appears my drive is using 16-bit IO mode.  Is this a large
factor in HD performance?  Anyhow here is the output from hdparm

/dev/hde:
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.61 seconds =209.84 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  1.37 seconds = 46.72 MB/sec

Thanks,
Ryan
