umass(4)/uhci(4) REALLY slow

Here are "iostat 5" results for my USB thumb drive on a uhci(4) controller
with 5.1-CURRENT. On windows on the same box, it runs reasonably quickly.
On FreeBSD, it really lags. This is for a cp of a large file to a
msdosfs-mounted flash drive.

Is there something we're doing on uhci(4) that makes each transfer only
1 KB? If we upped it to 32 KB, it would be a more reasonable 1.2 MB/sec
which is still well under the USB 1.1 max speed.
Thanks,
