Well I'd be surprised if it is a bug as I'd be inclined to link it to
the speed of data transfers due to using SCSIFS and USB subsystems.
The same issue afflicts large downloads on RISC PC's and if you do a
speed test on the i/o interface for the Beagleboard/ARMini you will
find it is nowhere near the speed of a Iyonix.
