        For what ever reason, it still slows down for me with
        --direct,  I've also noticed that using --direct causes
        different "severe failure" behaviour when reading from USB
        bridges, sometimes requiring a reboot to resolve.

        I can't imagine it would try anything like that, but yes, I
        have also thought about it.

        Do you have the "reopen" patch that I can try on my 18pre2 copy
        here so that I can see how the performance changes?

Paul.
