Hi. This problem is also present on my machine, Asus K8N4-E SE, AMD Sempron 2800+. Copying 4 GB of data to an 8 GB USB stick takes around 45 minutes, with Windows (on the same computer) it takes 6 minutes. The data transfer starts very fast until about 75 MB's are completed, then it appears to pause for quite some time (LED in the USB stick does not flash) and then continue for a few MB, pause again and so forth.
This problem was present in kernel 2.6.24-16-generic and is still present in 2.4.24-21-generic. And it's driving me NUTS.
