Does nobody have any idea?
I just had to re-sync and the "want" value jumped around wildly between 0
K/sec and 80.000 K/sec and the speed it self is terrible:

	finish: 0:05:07 speed: 608 (628) want: 7,160 K/sec
	finish: 0:04:33 speed: 684 (628) want: 43,760 K/sec
	finish: 0:04:38 speed: 680 (628) want: 9,600 K/sec
	finish: 0:05:04 speed: 624 (628) want: 0 K/sec
	finish: 0:04:51 speed: 648 (628) want: 10,760 K/sec

It looks like the variable sync mechanism does more harm than good and I
don't seem to be able to turn it off properly.

Regards,
