The only way to speed it up would be to use either a faster read/write rate
file system, or upgrade hardware.
Ken are you using JFS with TRIM on the SSD?

Well, that was a surprise - the SSD is indeed faster (tested
building a kernel), but by less than 2% on this machine. So in
practice no noticeable difference. And the differences between the
various i/o schedulers on the SSD are lost in the noise.
Using hdparm, buffered reads were all-but identical between the
spinning disk and the SSD so I really doubt there is any way to
significantly speed up this box.
