Thanks for the references.

1394-1995 Final Draft strongly implies that data payload is in 8-bit
bytes (four per 32-bit quadlet) without padding or bit stuffing except
to finish the last data quadlet in a packet. Especially see sections
6.2 and E.1.2. I found no mention of 10 bit times per byte. The only
10-bit entities I found were the bus_ID code and arbitration hold
time. I presume the basic data coding and timing did not change from
the final draft to the released standard. Did I miss something?

Antivirus had more effect than I expected. Copying without AV
"From internal HD to internal HD: 7min 1sec (about 637MB/minute)
about 40% faster than with AV."

I hate antivirus software. My employer has my work PC so loaded up with
antivirus and file inventory software I'm lucky if I can coax the
computer into granting me a few cycles to get my job done.
