multiwriter burns iso very slow
I used multiwriter to burn 120mb iso on a USB and it took about 20 minutes. Having used multiwriter before and having burned a 4.7gb iso in 20 minutes, it appears that perhaps a bug was introduced. Whether this is the result of a patch due to meltdown or spectre is unknown. As multiwriter was writing the iso, the interface gave a speed of about 5mb per second. However, this didn't appear to be accurate because that means the iso would have been written in 24 seconds rather than the 20 minutes it actual took. I used SUSE Studio Image Writer because multiwriter was taking too long. SUSE Studio Image Writer took about 10 seconds to write the image I was trying to write. I asked a few gnomees and they said I should file a bug. I searched gnome bugzilla and could not see that a bug for this issue has been filed.
