Bleah.. didn't CC the list:

Mine:

DBD - 5G LVM partition on a 7200RPM IDE 200G:
[root@xm-fc5-001 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/foo bs=4k count=25000
25000+0 records in
25000+0 records out
102400000 bytes (102 MB) copied, 2.06112 seconds, 49.7 MB/s

DBD - 120G dedicated disk 7200RPM IDE (phy device set as xvdb)
[root@xm-fc5-001 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/foo bs=4k count=25000
25000+0 records in
25000+0 records out
102400000 bytes (102 MB) copied, 0.719008 seconds, 142 MB/s

hdparm returns similar results. The first physical device is shared with four 
other
DomU's.
