I didn't know anything about a reported performance drop, and I don't think Andrew did either -- Albert's test results don't seem to have made it to this list, or anywhere else that I can see. Could you link to/repost his comments? (I'll be testing with libertas, so that will stress-test SDIO IRQs.)
