What are you using to test this?  I've done dumps to files on a UFS
filesystem on a Zip disk, and I've certainly seen throughput in the
600KB/second range.  I don't think I've done anything unusual,
configuration-wise, to achieve this.

If you're trying to read/write from a DOS filesystem, I suspect you'd
see lower throughput, but I don't really know.
