Anyway, now I'm wondering how much effect an I/O Scheduler will have on the drive performance, as compared to hdparm settings.
'hdparm -tT' gives me a read speed of ~55MB/s on my AMD Sempron64 2500+ system. My hard disk isn't even SATA. I don't think it is possible to squeeze out much more. I suppose switching I/O Schedulers on my system won't make much of a difference.
Does anyone have more information about this?

AFAIK to see a diffrence you need to generate considerable I/O load on your system.
try bonnie++ or ioperf to generate I/O load.
