I decided to play around a little further. First, I deleted the "ide0=ata66" from lilo.conf and second I ran bonnie a lot more times. I found that after the deletion I occasionally (say one time in three or four), saw block reads a little over 30000 KB/sec. I then tried running bonnie from "/" rather than from a subdirectory. The result is block reads of better than 30000 KB/sec every time - the record is 37558. Maybe I should have knowm to run it from root.

Geoff
