Are you using 'cd..' or 'rcd..' for your tests?
I made some more tests with NetBSD 1.4.1
ASUS 40x:
dd if=/dev/cd0d of=/dev/null bs=32k ==> 360 K/s
dd if=/dev/rcd0d of=/dev/null bs=32k ==> 4000 K/s
HP 24x:
dd if=/dev/cd1d of=/dev/null bs=32k ==> 860 K/s
dd if=/dev/rcd1d of=/dev/null bs=32k ==> 2600 K/s
I wonder why rcd0d is an order of magnitude faster than cd0d.
Also I don't understand why cd0d is slower than cd1d (should be
the opposite) and rc0d is faster than rc1d.
