I'm going to guess, off the top of my head, based on my experience, that
your atom cant process the data fast enough and your benchmark isnt
really worthwhile.
get a copy of iozone setup on the box, and get it to run through a few
iterations with the 5400rpm disk and then the SSD.
I have an i5 @2.4Ghz per core, and it struggles to keep up with the
sata2 interface ( with a Crucial M4 on the other side ). I suspect I can
go faster with a sata3 interface..
Some of my initial observations:
