Thanks.  My internal laptop harddisk gets about 20.5MB/s reading.
 From what I read in Documentation/usb/ehci.txt, 20MB/s should be
possible over USB.  I guess I'm wondering whether in practice people
get near this, or if my 9MB/s over USB is more typical.

For people who might be googling, let me just record that even with
the performance I'm getting, I'm able to capture video from a
videocamera over firewire and write it to the USB external hard drive
without dropping any frames.  The firewire port and the USB port are
on a single Cicero CardBus PCMCIA card, and I had feared that this
might be a bottleneck, but it is fine.  I have to use ext2 and not
ext3, but that's also true when I capture to my internal hard drive.
