In conducting tests on a 4GB USB 200x memory stick, I find that using Linux 2.6.17 reading 8KB blocks I get 12MB/sec for sequential access and 3MB/sec for random access. The interesting thing is that under Windows with the same memory stick I get 10MB/sec for both sequential and random access. My goal is to get the fastest random access speed under Linux.
I have delved into the internals of the usbstorage driver and tried various settings such as the GO_SLOW flag, but none of them help. I have also tried bypassing the usbstorage driver using libusb and got the same performance numbers. Any ideas?
