I did an opkg update on the factory image last night (~7-8 PM PST), and 
now GPS fix times are less than a minute.  The update downloaded a new 
kernel:

# opkg status kernel
Package: kernel
Version: 2:2.6.24+git20+287b292cf95edbd82dc63085ae5f0167a6e8141f-r0
Depends: kernel-2.6.24
Status: install user installed
Architecture: om-gta02

Did I get the SD patch or not?  I ask because I'm updating the wiki, and 
don't want to put wrong information up...  For what it's worth, my 
initial test suggests that playing .ogg files off SD doesn't seem to 
affect getting a GPS fix...
