One more thing to try.

Instead of

	mp3dec < file
or	mp3dec file

do

	cat file | cat | mp3dec

The pipes will get you some buffering
which in turn will induce some readahead.

It could be that we're just not doing a good
job with scheduling this particular task,
although that doesn't really explain the
fs/u9fs discrepancy.
