Well my point is, the fact that its CF shouldn't make any difference to the speed ... 
all that changes is the controller electronics move from the card to the camera. In 
fact you'd expect SM to be a bit faster because you could afford to have better 
controlling electronics in the camera than in the card as you're likely to have more 
cards than cameras. I think the difference in speed between the 2 SM cards might well 
just be the difference in the quality of chips used (2 cards from the same maker could 
contain chips made by very different companies).
