This bug has been fixed on Karmic, coreutils 7.4.
A lingering issue is to recode the logic to select the overwrite passes
(right now shred defaults to 3 passes, and all of them will be random).
Nevertheless, there is no visible performance impact anymore.
** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Fix Released
