You can expect very good performance in some circumstances (e.g. random reads). > What else can I try? A different card .. I just tried with two different random cards from my desk, one is 3x the speed of the other. It's not a CF, but by far the slowest flash device I have is an industrial DOM. Really painfully slow - untarring baseXX.tgz takes getting on for an hour. You might do better with consumer cards ..
