As I mentioned, this is true of the SandForce 2nd gen ASICs, maybe some others. The Samsung SSDs use a home grown Samsung controller which doesn't do compression. Its performance doesn't vary due to data content. Thus the performance gap you demonstrated doesn't apply to Andrei. We can eliminate this as a possible cause of his apparently horrible performance. And I think we can eliminate the regression in 2.6.32 as that patch seems to be included in his kernel, otherwise he'd likely not get 260MB/s in his dd raw read tests.
