I catted a movie file first to my FreeBSD box, which took 81 seconds.
I then did it to the Qube and those were the results I got, 500 and
some seconds.

I'm not doing anything fancy. I was told before by one of the cobalt
developers that there is some bug on the PCI bus limiting bandwidth.
If you're doing better than that, I'd like to know about it.

I'm on a Qube2 BTW.
