specifically, these items apparently have no effect on my throughput:

/dev/hda:
 multcount    =  tried 1 and 16, no change
 IO_support   =  tried 0 (default 16-bit) and 1 (32-bit), no change
 unmaskirq    =  tried 0 and 1, no change

I did note a small change between the default setting which gave ~13.5MB/sec 
for buffered disk reads and setting xfermode to 67 (UltraDMA mode3) or 66 
(UltraDMA mode2), both of which brought the rate consistently down to ~10 
MB/sec. This went back to 13.5 when I used xfermode to 68 (UltraDMA mode4).
