before hdparm -X66 -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hda was:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 1120 MB in 2.00 seconds = 560.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 12 MB in 3.45 seconds = 3.48 MB/sec
after hdparm -X66 -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hda is:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 1108 MB in 2.00 seconds = 554.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 86 MB in 3.01 seconds = 28.57 MB/sec

Neither HD nor DVD player were enabled with DMA, I got it by hdparm:
hdparm -X66 -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hda set the DMA on as well:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 3 (32-bit w/sync)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 9729/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0
and that's my dvd player:
/dev/hdb:
HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 1 (on)
readahead = 8 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
and after all HD stored AVIs are smooth with Xine..so maybe it's a Mplayer setting. I dont' know!
Bye and thanks
Andrea
