Ian, 

I will do the tests you asked for. but today is my wife's birthday, and I 
am already at home so I have no access to me test computers there. 

I have done some testing with the second, newer host with SATA Disks. The change
of the readahead quantity showed no effect on the reduced throughput. I do not
remember the exact ratio, but I think it was quite similar than with the ide 
disks and readahead of 256 sectors.

I will report on that tomorrow in a more detailed fashion. 

And I will do the tests with linux 2.4 as domU
