I too have observed this same behavior of the read of good sectors being slow after encountering errors, and stopping and restarting resumes at a good read speed again. I will make a note to check for sure in the future, but I am pretty sure it happens with direct disc mode also.

I do not remember to have observed this behaviour, but my drives are far slower than the ones you seem to be using. If you are missing something, then I am also missing it. :-)


This behaviour has been seen on multiple versions of ddrescue and
multiple different drives and systems. Am I missing something obvious?

Maybe it is some internal switch of caching modes. Does this also happen with direct disc mode (option -d)?
