Hmm, I haven't noticed any difference wrt. SCSI between 1.4.x and 1.5 on
my 660av, which uses the same 539x SCSI driver as the Q800... SCSI majorly
lags the system on both versions :( As far as I know, there weren't any
changes to the SCSI system that would make things slower, but I haven't
been closely following the changes... have you tried timing things to see
how big the speed difference is?
