Just tried this here and I'm seeing CPU saturation from dd, is this
your case too?

Switching to:
/usr/bin/time -h dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/smh/testfile bs=1m count=2930

Iit changed from:
3072000000 bytes transferred in 170.102366 secs (18059714 bytes/sec)
        2m50.48s real           1.05s user              2m48.28s sys

to:
3072327680 bytes transferred in 14.094856 secs (217975102 bytes/sec)
        15.19s real             0.00s user              4.87s sys

    Regards
    Steve
