As I mentioned previously, the performance of USB memory sticks seems to vary greatly on OpenBSD depending on the stick's manufacturer. A stick that writes quickly on Windows might be terribly slow on OpenBSD. In that case, just buy a different memory stick. I have found the Kingston DataTraveler to write quite quickly on OpenBSD. http://www.kingston.com/flash/datatraveler.asp
