Thank you for your reply,
there is what I already did to solve this thing.

I got rid of gtk2 to see if that would make a difference - no luck.

Did have X3 in there and do have X4.1 now - same thing.

I am in woody with some sid thrown in.
Try 'hdparm -u1 -k1'.
I get 26 mb/sec it doesn't get any better than that with my hardware.

I went from 2.2.19 to 2.4.18 with debiankernels and compiled the latest
2.4.18 myself,too (no modules).No change.
I have the latest drivers for my card (SIS) in the kernel and in X those
are not even included in the stock kernel or X yet.
Swap is ok with 130mb free.
