Subject:   Is CAM slower than the old SCSI layer for JAZ drives?

I have made an odd observation. Copying a large file from
my 100MBit net to a 2GB jaz, I noticed that 3.1-BETA took
a lot more time than it used to under 2.2.8-STABLE.
Exact (well, as exact as dd can be) measurements told me:

3.1-BETA:
135447409 bytes transferred in 178.638903 secs (758219 bytes/sec)

2.2.8-STABLE:
135447409 bytes transferred in 87.649259 secs (1545334 bytes/sec)

This is nearly exact twice the time for 3.1 than for 2.2.8.
The network is okay, a dd to /dev/null gives me:
135447409 bytes transferred in 13.553990 secs (9993176 bytes/sec)

Copying the same file to a "normal harddrive" results in:
135447409 bytes transferred in 19.716693 secs (6869682 bytes/sec)
This I would assume as OK.

Is there something special in the CAM layer that has to do
with IOMEGA drives (apart from the quirk entry for tagged
queuing in cam_xpt.c)?

Should I do some debugging?

Thanks,
