My A1200 is the opposite. PCMCIA sucks up all my CPU time when moving more
than 500KB/s, but serial (SilverSurfer) never takes any noticable CPU time.

I must admit Envoy takes much less CPU time, though still enough to give the
impression of almost locking the machine - Samba is a CPU hog, MiamiDx also.

Hmm, I've never had a problem banging data over the SilverSurfer or a Zorro2
Hypercom at 20KB/s (text over TCP/IP with 56k modem, port at 230400 bps).
