It's only about 0.05% faster on my system. [For removable media, it's a good idea to disable polling for medium changes before running a test. Depending on kernel & distribution that could be achieved by doing udisks --inhibit-all-polling and/or for example echo -1 >/sys/block/sdb/events_poll_msecs before running the test.] Mark -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
