As I mentioned in my first mail, it appears to be an OpenBSD

a throuphput of about 10 MB/second when using FreeBSD.
This matches more or less the CF specifications (PQI industrial Turbo
Compact Flash Card). UDMA33 is used under FreeBSD
Do you use the best possible ATA mode in both systems?
Do you use async/noatime/softdep/softupdates/whatever?
Any ideas?
Yes, send a dmesg and the exact mount command used in both scenarios,
the verbose output of atactl/atacontrol, the filesystem you use
(if you use one) and how it was created, etc.
