Slow usb/umass CompactFlash reader

I've just updated to a snapshot of 4.9-PRERELEASE.  The usb/umass 
support seems *much* more stable than I found it with 4.8.  My Oracom 
USB MP3 player now works without errors, and achieves up to 400KB/sec 
throughput.

However, if I connect my Belkin CompactFlash reader instead, that's 
very, very slow indeed.  The greatest data rate I see is about 4KB/sec, 
although no errors are reports.  Needless to say, this works much faster 
under Windows :(

Any suggestions gratefully received:
