This looks normal. I've yet to find a CF-IDE Adpater combination that makes it into full Ultra-DMA mode 4. CF Media is generally slower than modern high perf. disks, depending a lot on the manufactuer quality. For my bsd-appliance project, I use CF media strictly for booting a MD/RD kernel image. If you're doing a full-install on the CF card, you've got the wrong approach. You're going to nuke your CF media with all of that atime update and IO cache flush overhead. There's no progress(1) in OpenBSD yea, so I'm not sure about the exact speed, but I'm able to un-pax(1) a 20->60 meg kernel image into MFS /usr in about 10 seconds.
