User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.7 (Windows/20050923)
On a vanilla 2.6.12 kernel, I get:
  60MB/s for hdparm -t /dev/sd[a|b] (on an Intel ICH7 SATA controller).
  30MB/s for hdparm -t /dev/hda (Intel ICH7)

On the xen dom0 kernel, I get 20MB/s for all three devices. Xen is compiled with the following:

xen_changeset          : Fri Dec  9 11:05:06 2005 +0000 8311:53cff3f88e45
cc_compiler            : gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)

Does anyone else face similar problems?
