I think others have already got the solution, the loopback fs has never
been really fast on a dos partition. It ran equally slow each time I did
that too. It just didn't occur to me at the time I wrote the message that
it was the cause. But it never hurts to look at what the system is telling
you anyhow, it can help tune the performance.
Good luck!
