Nothing special, I changed only the Makefile to compile with -O4
-mtune=strongarm.
But I investigated this a bit more and at least the Arm610 transferrate is
totally wrong (reported by "hdparm -t /dev/hda") because the time reported for
the measurement is is only about half of that I measure with my own watch and
this does for instance not happen on a x86 linux box.
