I just timed mine under cygwin.
dl_edb7xxx.exe redrom.bin 115200
The download including boot code, flashing, file, etc, took 4 minutes
and 45 seconds. That's about 9600 baud.

Hmm, have you actually timed it? I know it accepts 115200 as a
parameter,
but did you compare upload times?
I do know that my hack runs slowly - much more slowly than the Cirrus
DOS-based utility. However I also noticed the same slowness when running
under Linux, so I assumed it was a bug in dl_edb7xxx.
Maybe the code Cirrus gave you to upload to the CPU is older than the
code
in their own download.exe utility, and slower?
