I've done a lot of data movement with usb1 and usb2 (love those .dv
videos of youth hockey).  This is exactly opposite of the results that
I'd typically see through the filesystem (ufs).  For usb1 I'd see
about 15MB/s and for usb2 I'd see between 16MB/s and 18MB/s.  Since
this is all ufs, no windows numbers are available for comparison.
These are the numbers reported by gstat, so it includes all the
filesystem traffic.

So a drop from 20MB/s to 12MB/s would be somewhat out of my range of
experience...
