I have this strange observation under 3.0-current:

dd if=/dev/wcd0c of=/dev/null gives about 2MB/sec

Mount the CD and then

dd if=somefile of=/dev/null gives about 70K/sec

Doing the same on 2.2.2 gives 2MB/sec / 1800K/sec...

What have we done to degrade cd9660 performance that much ????

(to make things worse the -current machine is a 233Mhz P6 and the
2.2.2 one is a 100Mhz 486, same IDE cdrom on both)
