Firmware 4.2007.26-8 has inferior SDHC performance than 3.2007.10-7 - why?

2007-07-07 Thread Neil MacLeod
Can anyone from explain why the performance of SDHC cards is reduced when compared with the performance of the patches made available for the 3.2007.10-7 firmware? The new firmware achieves only 50% of the read performance possible with the old patched kernel (5.6MB/s when 11.99Mb/s is possible)
