I'm considering turning on Tagged Command Queuing in my ATA system.  
My
disks are all Hitachi 7K250 (two HDS722512VLAT80 and one
HDS722516VLAT80) which according to Hitachi support this feature  
(queue
depth = 32).

However, I read in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-July/007378.html
that there may be problems doing this and not really improving  
performance.

Is that recommendation still valid or should I go for it?

Iread some where FreeBSD only supported ibm drives for that, but then  
all support was throuwn out because nobody used it.  If you want  
performance try a NCQ SATA II drive.  If you only have ATA TCQ then get  
a raptor for max performance.  If it is a desktop then leave it off,  
TCQ is a server feature and slows down normal desktop workloads.
