Back of the napkin math says, your zero is running at
[D:\Tmp\0]rexxtry say 80 * 1000**3 / 28 / 60 / 1000**2
47.6190477
That's MB/sec and about a good as it gets for IDE interfaces. USB 2.0 is
going to max out at about 10-12 MB/sec.
Since I doubt that your 80GB drive is more than half full, your restore is
runing at something like
[D:\Tmp\0]rexxtry say 40 * 1000**3 / 60 / 60 / 1000**2
11.1111111
which is not all that great for an IDE setup. If you are using less than
40GB, the performance is even worse.
