Or, more likely: this suggests that the kernel included in slack 11 is prior to the retirement of the legacy hd[a-z] driver for IDE disks, and the kernel is running your new sata port in legacy IDE mode (because that is all it (this specific kernel) knows how to do). And, if this is the issue, you may even have the slack 11 kernel running the sata port in IDE emulation mode using PIO, which would produce exactly the issue you describe (large latencys and system pauses on disk accesses). You'd do well to upgrade to a more modern Slackware, and you'd likely find that this issue disappears when you do so.
