Hi!

 I don't have a SA. On the SA the behavios should be worse if
my guess is correct.

 Reformulated guess: During hard disc accesses the ARM is WAITING
	in a loop (polling) till the drive has ready.

 fsck is a good example for this. Timings are 5-10% usr and the rest
in in system (on a 50MHz 710)

 I know that the driver for the Connect32 uses polling but I didn't
know that the performance is that low.
