Natty 2.6.38-1209.16 release is now available in -proposed. This bug is awaiting verification that this kernel for Natty in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-natty' to 'verification-done-natty'.
If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Problem is in Fedora ARM builds also so not limited to Ubuntu. My Panda's USB seems to be significantly slower than a Beagle C4. hdparm shows buffered reads as ~12MB/s on the Panda, and about ~20-25MB/s on a Beagle C4 from the same external Lacie USB disk.
