I have two systems one with 2940UW and seagate UW drive pentium 200MMX 128MB
RAM
the second with aic7890 (which is like the 2940u2w) and a seagate u2w drive
pentium-II 400Mhz 256 MB ram
the second system clearly runs faster. disc access is faster, it boots faster
it takes about 4 minutes to compile the kernel vs 8 minutes on the old system
Disc access in the second system is 80M/sec v.s. 40M/sec.
I am sure that the increase in performance is in part due to the u2w.

PS: the price of the new system is about $700 more than top of the line IDE
system.
