Not that I know of. And, besides, dumb DOS copy does give 300 Kb/sec.
Heiko said he did get this speed when he finished the driver, so I have no
idea on whats going on. So I can see two possibilities

- Someone changed the driver without testing the results
- Something in the kernel is slowing it down

I might go back to old kernels and see if/where is the change.
