Linux is "tricking" you mounting it's filesystems async by default.
I was getting the same performance as in linux mounting an ufs
filesystem with -o async, but in the case of copying from another
(mounted with -o noatime option only fs). In either was copying from the
same drive performes much worse than a linux (say, 55MB/s vs 11MB/s on a
modern SCSI drive).
So, it's not an ATA problem only.
