The tests you saw were Mac only. Compared to the performance of USB 2
on Windows, USB 2 still lags a bit behind Firewire 400, but not by a
huge margin, it's certainly not half the speed. So it's still a win for
Firewire, but less so when the USB 2 implementation doesn't suck as,
unfortunately, it does on the Mac. See this article, and be sure to
read the article, not just look at the graphs, because it's in the
words where it notes the comparison to USB 2 on Windows:
