Kristian, et al. Another speed comparison,
Using the UNIX shell in Mac OS X, I cloned my 512MB CF card in my Soekris using: (after making all partitions 'ro') # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd if=/dev/hda; sync" >cf.image Using 0.3.0 the transfer rate is about 20MB/minute, requiring 25 minutes for the card. Using 0.4.2 the transfer rate is about 40MB/minute, requiring 12 minutes for the card. That is worth the price of admission.
