Slow drive access ICH9 SATA 1-5
10.6 installed on Dell T3400 x48 system with QX9650 8gb ram from 10.8 leopard drive. Initial boot into SL with -v -x32 flags & quick launch of Kext Utility to repair permissions. Reboot & now fully stable x64 
BUT... if I leave any combination of SATA 1-5 on (misc hard drive & DVD) disc access for SATA 0 is fine but ANY activity for SATA 1-5 is crazy slow. In addition system profiler cannot get details on SATA and yields "No information found"... and If I turn off all but SATA-0 which is my 10.6 drive... all is well and profiler sees ICH9... BUT also still sees SATA 1-5 with nothing attached (even tho they are off in bios???)
IDE is shut off in BIOS & there are no IDE devices.
I've input UUID for SL drive in all proper locations... and I used DSDT patcher on the same system to create a proper SL dsdt.aml... edited for cmos reset.
Here are images of my chameleon EXTRA folder (all x64) & the console messages when all SATA 0-5 are on but 1-5 are responding slow.. notice the timeout streaming a preview of an mp3:
