This is due to a couple of problems with the tssdcard.c interface. (The 
driver).

 From working on a 2.6.27 port of the SD card stuff, I've found a couple 
bugs in the sdcard driver (and I know that a few remain).  The one 
you're experiencing is due to the fact that the driver enters atomic 
mode (unnecessarily) while transferring data to/from the sdcard.

Even when I release the atomic mode, the sdcard performance is about 
87k/second on a ts7400 and requires 100% cpu load, even after I got rid 
of the   while (!(DMA_READ(STATUS) & 0x40)) ; busy wait.

What is more interesting is that their 2.4 driver does about 1.3 
megabytes per second running under linux 2.4.
