Still not bad, the fastest I've seen a "slow" card do after a few local tests is 2.35 Mb/s. However, in my experience, on an operational level it's the other hardware that matters on a Soekris box. Switching from a net4521 to a net4801, and later to a net5501, really made a difference (key generation, SSH login time etc). CF card speed has played only a minor role.
