It may be a bare hd speed difference?
I mean the kernels may have different hw support
for example I have noticed that sometimes kernels are patched with
code from http://www.linux-ide.org
I rember I got 3.90 MB/s with 2.2.19, when I got the patch and built
the via82Cxxxx support I reached 21 MB/s !!!
I have never reached such performance on the same hw even using the
2.4.5 patch for the vanilla tree: the best I could get is 10 MB/s
