for many devices 1.5 MB/s is already USB2. e.g. my mp3 player. i am not familiar with the windows caching mechanism but it might be finishing up the copying after the progress bar has already finished. linux plays that ugly game. everything is copied lightningly fast only to discover that umount takes minutes until the caches is written out in the real world. have you clocked the openbsd transfer? it is not in your email 6min windows vs ? min openbsd? -f -- golf is a good walk spoiled.
