I'm curious and didn't find an answer with a quick google. How does one inspect what algorithm is in use and/or change it? Is it a runtime option or build-time?
--- It has to be built in when the kernel is built, but I think both 10.2 and 10.3 have the alternate I/O schedulers compiled in as modules. The default can be set at compile time. So far, I only know of a way to change schedulers at boot time.
Yast2 -> System -> System Settings -> Kernel Settings tab. Select the appropriate Global I/O Scheduler and click Finish. You probably have to reboot for it to take effect. The Help text in the left hand pane says "If the option is not configured the default (usually 'cfq') scheduler will be used." This is in 10.3.
