Bug Description
Copying files from an internal hard drive to an external USB pandrive is slowing down during this process in Lucid Lynx alpha3 with all the updates until now. Also note that the copying speed is well below the standard rate for high-speed USB devices even in the initial state.
As a first look this phenomenon is independent of the filesystem of the USB stick although some effect may be observed. I formatted it either ext3, ntfs or vfat the result was the same. Copying starts around 20-30 MB/sec transfer speed and around 300 MB copied materials the process is slowing down below 15 MB/sec and between 400-500 MB transfered data it is below 10 MB/sec. Reaching the 1GB amount of copied data the speed is only around 2 MB/sec. In case of using vfat file system the transfer speed may go below the 1MB/sec transfer speed at this stage.
The number of the files I transfered from my hard drive to a 16GB USB pandrive were 350 with a total size of 5.4GB.
In an other experiment (with ntfs usb partition) transferring only one large file having a size of 2.7GB took more than a hour (0.7 MB/sec in average)!
