This is why I think I should do FAT first. Most speed issues are
related to Mad Max and if Mad Max could read MP3s directly from the
FAT partitions, it would solve the speed problems user experience.
Nevertheless, more speed could mean a faster Newton. In both cases,
it would make ATA cards superior to linear cards (since the speed
improvement is mostly about beating linear cards definitely).
