Setup: Fujitsu P5020D with a built-in SD-MMC card reader:
O2Micro MemoryCardBus FLash Media Drive
Card: Sandisk Ultra II, 1GB (rated at 9 MB/sec ).

Under Windows XP Pro, in one window of Windows Explorer I choose
93 .PEF files (924 MB) -> copy (Ctrl-C) -> paste (Ctrl-V) in another window. I tested 2 configurations: 1. builtin card reader and 2. USB2 connection
to the *ist DS body with 1.02 firmware.
I copied those files both ways.
                       Card->comp      Comp->card
1. bultin card reader: ~ 8 min (2)       ~ 11 min
                       ~1.9 MB/sec     ~ 1.5 MB/sec
2. USB2 cable to DS:   180 sec (2)       355 sec
                       (5.13 MB/sec)   (2.6 MB/sec)

(2) - indicates 2 tests giving similar results.

Another data point:
Using the Belkin 8-in-1 USB 2.0 card reader, average transfer rate for SD Ultra II 1G cards (95 RAW files) is 6.5 Mbytes per second. That's connected to an iMac G4 20" model running Mac OS X v10.4.2. I've never timed doing the transfers connected to the camera itself.
