Most parallel ports are connected to the ISA bus which is limited to around
0.8-1.2 million IO/sec depending on the exact mainboard configuration.
Therefore the upper limit will be around 1MB/sec.

Was the PIO method based on my posting I sent last week?
Basically wait (using usleep()) till the FIFO is full/empty and then transfer
16 bytes blindly.

You need to set bit 5 (0x20) of the parallel port CTR (base+0x2), this is
probably the culprit.
