mvme5500: data transfer rate to and from vme space

Hello,

I've done some timing measurements on block transfers of data from the 
vme space to
local memory space. My effective transfer rate is about 2mbytes/sec. In 
theory, the vme
backplane can handle about 20mbytes/sec. I've checked this for various 
block sizes and
the transfer rate scales roughly proportionally with size.


word size: 32bit (transfers are 32bits at a time)
block size: 256bytes: 150uS
block size: 1040bytes: 530uS
block size: 3032byes: ~1.2mS

addr space: 32bit

rtems: 4.9.3


Help appreciated.

Robert W.
