What was the cluster size (on format) of the partitions in question? You need 8K to really get things flying. Also: I hate to rain on your 80Mb/s, but don't forget you're processing 2Gb twice: once to read it, the other to write. So, your aggregate rate is more like 160Mb/s.

Which is not bad at all.
