I thought, USB1.1 can do 1.5Mbytes/sec and USB2 can do 480Mbit/sec
(I read it in advertisements for USB devices).

Why does da0 say, that it can do just 1MBytes/sec?

480/8 is 60, isn't it? So we should see 60 MB/s, or is it just
marketing talk? I like it, when FreeBSD is nearly as fast as
possible (several years ago some FreeBSD NIC drivers were quite
efficient).

I am wondering, why my USB1.1 Cytronix SmartMedia card reader does
not more than 1MBytes/sec...

I just wanted to point out some little aspects of the problem...
