Thanks, I'll look into that.

Meanwhile, I tested exactly the same hardware under 2.4 kernel (Red Hat 7.3,
original kernel from install CD).  I got somewhat faster write speed 
(17 vs. 21
MB/s for ext3 and 34 vs. 41 MB/s for ext2).  However the difference in read
speed was huge.  2.4 kernel simply blew away 2.6 kernel.  Read speed under 2.4
was almost 130 MB/s vs. "only" 77 MB/s I got under 2.6 kernel.
