Let me guess: Intel ICH5 or 6300ESB south bridge and ATA disk (Seagate 
Barracuda 7200.7)?

There is something wrong in the RELENG_5 ATA driver that makes this 
combination perform really slow on writes (~16MB/s). When connecting a 
nearly identical SATA drive to the machine it performs as expected with 
~55MB/s sequential writes.

RELENG_4 performs as expected and I think ATA mkIII in CURRENT also works.
