Likely because prior to polling being implemented, each i/o was done 
blindly and completed immediately instead of waiting for actual
confirmation from the hardware.  Crashdumps have been slow for a
number of years, thanks to a fundamental change in how they are done.
Until now, USB was cheating and making them look fast.
