[NTLK] Why is my internal store so slow?

I just used Nick's TestIt (v1.2.2) to check the speed of my CF card
with Paul's ATA driver.

To my surprise, I found that my Internal store is much slower
than predicted by TestIt, and even much slower than my external
(not CF/ATA) 16MB card:

Here are the times (from multiple tests) for trf. of 100KB:

Internal: 54s, 34s, 33s, 31s, 41s, 31s
16MB Card: 15s, 16s, 16s
CF/ATA card: 16s

This was even right after a restart, and with other cards removed.
Any ideas why the Interal is so slow? Is that rather normal?
