I switched back to the 2.6.35-22-generic kernel because I didn't want to fight with getting Vmware working with the newer kernel. I started a large copy to the OCZ Rally2 stick I've been using, and for some reason this time the copy more or less stopped decelerating around 5MB/sec. It's now sitting at 4.4MB/sec and has copied about 21GB of data in the last hour and a half or so. Still not as fast as I would hope, but at least it's usable. I don't know what changed between yesterday and today when I was getting an estimated 30 hours to complete the copy, but I'll take it. My offer to help do troubleshooting with an interested dev on this stands. The only thing worse than consistent poor performance is inconsistent poor performance...
