This should improve if you use a more recent compiler, i.e. the native
gcc that runs on the QS22 blade.

hmm, did you enable the PCI mode of the Axon driver on the Cell blade?
Unfortunately, you cannot enable both host (PCI) and endpoint (SB) mode
simultaneously in the driver, so you have to disable that mode in order
to use the cell blade as an endpoint.

Does the 2.6.25 kernel from my git tree work? If so, which version is the
last one you get running?
