The OP complained his dump was slow. I was wondering if it was slow
because of problem with dump, or if the device from which he was
dumping was slow by itself.
If he did dd from device->null and measured time, he would have basis
to claim that slowness was a fault of dump - if dd was, say twice as
fast.
