I recently got some new brake pads for my bike. They are the Flash (Shimano Dura-ace compatible) model from Swissstop. If you are in need of new pads or are looking for improved stopping power, check these pads out. I have found them to be far better than the stock compound and even better than aftermarket pads from Kook Stop. In both wet and dry conditions, the pads seem to retain their stopping power. Good stuff. Naturally, they make Campy compatible pads as well as carbon rim specific pads.
The pads can be seen here, on Helvetia Sports' website. Contact them through their website for purchasing information.

Just checked out their website, and a description on an LBS webpage.
Seems they used to produce 50 million OEM pads for Weinmann per year, in the 80's, but now concentrate on lower volume, higher quality products.
Perhaps I'll give them a try when I replace my Campag blocks.
