If I compare this against my laptop (SATA disk too) is really better, but I 
don't know if this result is a good one or not.
I don't know where to continue looking for the cause of the problem, I think 
there is a bug or something missconfigured with Debian 4.0r1 and Postgres.
I unppluged the server from the network with the same results. I have the 
server mapped as localhost in PgAdmin III, there shouldn't be network traffic 
and there isn't (monitoring the network interface). I'm really lost with this 
weird behaviour.
I really apreciate your help
Regards
Agustin

The little test hdparm does is not exactly a robust hard drive benchmark. 
If you want to rule out hard drive transfer speed issues, take at look at 
the tests suggested at 
http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/postgresql/pg-disktesting.htm and 
see how your results compare to the single SATA disk example I give there.
