Wouldn't it be logical to write to the outer edge first and then move inwards? I don't see ANY advantage to writing to the inner (slow) edge first.
I think you see a decrease in perfomance because the data is written to the inner edge (slow) as opposed to the outer edge (fast) when you tested a while ago. (plus of course, fragmenation plays some role in this too) I could be wrong though... :-/
