Comment (by nephele):
dd is ment to copy exactly as fast as you tell it too, it would be nice to
post the actuall comment you used, usually dd is not suited to copying
images onto flash drives.
a more fair comparison would be to try cp file /dev/da0 on FreeBSD or cp
file /dev/sdb on linux (assuming those are the correct paths) and
comparing that to Haiku, cp is supposed to use apropriate block sizes etc.
automatically so should get "the best" performance
So please test with cp too
