You were correct, dma wouldn't activate due to the ide chipset module not
being present.
before:
# hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 500 MB in 2.01 seconds = 248.76 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 14 MB in 3.20 seconds = 4.38 MB/sec
after:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 540 MB in 2.00 seconds = 270.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 36 MB in 3.13 seconds = 11.50 MB/sec
HUGE difference in performace when moving files around.
That seems to have solved it - thank you!
