First, dma did nothing.Could you send to this list the output of hdparm -a <your disk device>?
Second, I am running fedora on a processor and memory challanged
machine and it is much slower than 7.3.
Interesting - I'm running fedora on a celeron 333, and found it to be downright snappy, even downloaded q3a and got online and fragged some win32 victims quite handily ;) That's what convinced me to install fedora on my primary workstations, and in all cases I find it the fastest redhat distro to date. I'm not saying you're imagining it, but there must be some pathological condition with your particular case - I'd be curious to know your exact hardware...
