you know ... turns out this slowdown only happens when copying from
fat32 to fat32 ... when copying from fat32 to linux partition it's
constantly at about 9mb/second. Still, acording to your huge test
results my hdds might be somehow missconfigured, or is
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.85 seconds =150.59 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.87 seconds = 34.22 MB/sec
normal for a 7200 rpm 20Gb Ibm drive?
