PIO disk writes using 100% system time and performing poorly with VIA vt82c686b on kernels 2.2 & 2.4

Heavy disc writes (eg. unzipping linux kernel source) cause the system processor usage (as reported by top/xosview) to jump to 100%, making the X mouse/audio freeze etc. Such problems occur with the drives connected to VIA vt82c686b south bridge: the same drives on a mvp3 show no such problems.
