Someone sent me a private e-mail message suggesting that I apply this
patch that Matthew Dharm posted to the linux-usb-devel list yesterday
and see if that would restore the write throughput to linux-2.4
levels.
The patch limits the size of the transfers, and can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6429200
or right here:

/* lots of sg segments can be handled */

+ .max_sectors = 240,

/* merge commands... this seems to help performance, but

I am happy to report that this patch has restored the write throughput
to the same speed that it was on linux-2.4.
Problem solved. Thanks much.
