Subject:   Incredibly slow USB CompactFlash reader
Message-ID:  <9FcK5HP5c4jAFwlX@lap.knigma.org>

I posted a similar query back in September, but having just tried with 
4.10-PRERELEASE, I thought it might be worth mentioning this again:

Throughput using a Belkin USB CompactFlash reader (with SanDisk 64MB 
card installed) is reliable but *incredibly* slow:

>mkn@shrewd$ sudo dd if=/dev/da0s1c of=/dev/null bs=512 count=100
>100+0 records in
>100+0 records out
>51200 bytes transferred in 104.866992 secs (488 bytes/sec)

This doesn't seem consistent with:

>da0: <OEI-USB CompactFlash 5.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
>da0: 650KB/s transfers

Full diagnostics at:

Should I bug it? Any suggestions gratefully received.
