The absolute numbers look really low. Does this include writing to
a hard drive? That would certainly make the difference appear
less significant.

Could you try backing this with a ram disk backing for comparison,
and also use 'time dd' to show the CPU utilization for all cases?
For completeness, including cpu-only performance might also help
put this into perspective.
