8 Timing cached reads: 3416 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1707.89 MB/sec
9 Timing buffered disk reads: 342 MB in 3.01 seconds = 113.69 MB/sec

11 It was actually a display/computation error. I was hitting a weird bug
12 detailed at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3927 which meant
13 my RTC was ticking twice as much as it should have been, or something -
14 so hdparm thought that twice as much time had passed whilst running the
15 test...

17 Hope this helps anyone who may be seeing the same issue.
