IIRC single block command affects MMC but not SD.  I did a few quick
tests with a HP 2G SD card on the my DM355 EVM, and the console output
are below.

The first dd (write-test1) show unusually high data rate due to caching.
dd returned before data is actually written to the SD card.  I'm seeing
about 2.3MB/s with an idle system on MV 2.6.18 kernel.  The other MMC/SD
slot has similar performance numbers.  I'm not sure what caused the
drastic difference in write performance between our systems.

Steve
