Hmm, the last time I encountered something like this, DMA was |
| 16 |
deactivated for the hard disk. That happened because the wrong driver |
| 17 |
(generic IDE) took over. What raw throughput do you get? |
| 18 |
`dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=4M count=100 iflag=direct` |

You mean you have not enabled drm and/or use the generic vesa driver? |
| 27 |
Maybe something is trying to use opengl and software emulation slows you |
| 28 |
down. |

P4s suffer because their pipeline is very long and poorly utilized. In |
| 38 |
fact, they can execute fewer instructions per clock tick than a P3. |
| 39 |
Anything newer is a vast improvement, especially Core2 and newer. |
