[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Floppy controller speedup

My floppy disk controller seems to make drives operate slower than on
other machines.  I recently borrowed a drive from a friend, and when I
put it in my machine, it performed significantly slower than on his.
Does anybody know what might cause this?  I have a cheapo generic
multi-i/o card.  I was thinking of trying to fiddle with the floppy
disk parameter table at location 0:0522.  Any thoughts would be
greatly appreciated.
