Thanks. I should have remembered that.

# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   10864 MB in  2.00 seconds = 5440.10 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   58 MB in  3.06 seconds =  18.94 MB/sec
# cat /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler
noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]
# echo anticipatory > /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler
# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   10680 MB in  2.00 seconds = 5347.20 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  148 MB in  3.02 seconds =  49.03 MB/sec
