The speed limitation in this case seems to be reading from the I/O area on a
PC. This is because the bus slows down (for ISA at least). The best I've
ever come across is approx 1MHz read rate from the I/O area on a PIII-600
using 8bit accesses. I expect the limiting case is not much faster than
this.
