Tagged queueing = lower write throughput?

Albert,

Thanks for replying to my mail. Now I at least know I'm not the only one
experiencing this kind of behavior.

Still I think it's strange that tagged queuing is able to slow things
down. I can't think of an obvious reason. Anyone cares to come up with
one?

Meanwhile, I'll download the manual of the hard disk to see if I can
discover something for my self.

Regards,

Paul.
