Do you have any benchmarks as to what the rate is through the filing
system these days? Or did Curt's benchmark show that, I wasn't sure if
that actually related to the raw device or not?If so, 9MB/sec is pretty
respectable. What's the system time usage when doing that? Unless you're
doing access to the raw device (eg a database, not likely on an ARM) the
raw figures probably aren't that useful.

Do you think that'd make a difference, since you should already be able
to sustain over 80MB/sec off the 25MHz bus? Maybe the latencies would
affect things a bit, but since the PCI latencies suck anyway it might
not help that much.
