Package: debian
Version: 6.0.5 (and earlier releases of squeeze)

I'm using x86_64.

When writing data to a sata disk, write speed is very very slow compared with 
fedora on the same machine.
Here is an example session using an 896MB tar archive of a rootfs on a freshly 
installed minimal system;

# mkdir tmp && cd tmp
# date > time.txt; tar -xf ~/ac100-root-tmp.tar; date >> time.txt
# cat time.txt
Thu Aug 23 14:03:16 BST 2012
Thu Aug 23 14:07:52 BST 2012
#
# date > time.txt; rm -rf *; date >> time.txt
# cat time.txt
Thu Aug 23 14:08:26 BST 2012
Thu Aug 23 14:11:48 BST 2012
#

The same session on the same machine with a freshly installed minimal fedora17 
system;

# mkdir tmp && cd tmp
# date > time.txt; tar -xf ~/ac100-root-tmp.tar; date >> time.txt
# cat time.txt
Thu Aug 23 14:46:53 BST 2012
Thu Aug 23 14:46:55 BST 2012
#
# date > time.txt; rm -rf *; date >> time.txt
# cat time.txt
Thu Aug 23 14:47:34 BST 2012
Thu Aug 23 14:47:39 BST 2012
#

The above session on a wheezy install (different machine) results in timings 
similar to the fedora session.
