Thanks for sharing that, Billy K.
I tried your package, but there isn't much difference... something else
must be bottlenecking the system.
I gave up after 24 hours, and I'm doing it in a laptop. :(
If you are extracting to "/media/sda<n>", then the problem may well be
that the "/media/*" mounts are all mounted with the "sync" flag.
mount -o remount,async /media/sda<n>
And try again - it should be orders of magnitude faster.
BTW, mounting sync is a Very Good thing normally, as it limits
filesystem corruption in the inevitable case of the FR crashing on you,
but the cost is that write operations are far far slower. Also note
that if the GPS is turned on, then SD card operations will be slower still.

Thanks for the tips!
No, the GPS was off, and AFAIK the mount was default (async?)...
But I'll try again later to check that flag! :)
