FWIW...

ADMA

With changes

adb shell "echo 0 > /sys/module/sdhci/parameters/no_prepost"
time adb shell "iozone -a -f /cache/file -g 4m > /mnt/obb/with"

real	0m37.245s
user	0m0.010s
sys	0m0.000s

Without changes

adb shell "echo 1 > /sys/module/sdhci/parameters/no_prepost"
time adb shell "iozone -a -f /cache/file -g 4m > /mnt/obb/without"

real	0m38.400s
user	0m0.000s

SDMA plus BOUNCE_BUFFER

With changes

adb shell "echo 0 > /sys/module/sdhci/parameters/no_prepost"
