Yes, thank you.
Which iosched do you use?
Would you please  repeat the vim/reiser4 test for each iosched and send 
us the time values?
Something like
for i in cfq noop anticipatory deadline
do
  echo $i > /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler && cat 
/sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler && echo "foo" >/root/test && time vim +"s/
foo/bar/" +"wq" /root/test
done

Thanks,
Lena
