I have this very same board CUV4X_E and the same problem too (present in 2.6.0 
and before)
The workaround i found is to not initialize the chip "modprobe w83781d init=0"

And answering some of your questions, yes, the slowdown is global, not only 
disk and it doesn't gets better if you unload the modules.

It's fixed in 2.6.1? going to download+compile and see if it works. 
Thanks!
