    I've had good luck mounting UFS -o async on USB keys for the purposes
    of doing bulk operations.  It still isn't the fastest thing in the
    world but it seems fast enough.

    Softupdates does a *lot* of tiny I/O's, try disabling it (I think
    mounting async disables softupdates automatically but I'm not sure).
