[avrdude-dev] Unexpected performance boost

[Stefan Frings]

Hello,

in the past years it took me always about 200 seconds to program 50KB
using an AVR-910 compatible programmer attached to the USB interface on my
Linux Notebook. Since my last Linux upgrade, programming became 10x faster.
That was a very nice surprise.

Did you change something related in your program or do you think that
changes in the OS (Ubuntu Linux) are the cause of that improvement?

I am asking because I use USB2Serial interfaces in my own hardware and I
am interested to learn how to speed things up.
