(Get the code!)
I remote-controlled Amar's computer and did the requested testing. My benchmark was transferring two 350 mb avi files onto a 1 gib USB 2.0 key (this key is not the only one affected).
I did the testing using plain nautilus drag and drop, cp, and gvfs-copy.
nautilus = 15 mins
time cp: 3m21.337s
time gvfs-copy: 11m39.413s
We can assume the difference between gvfs' copy operation and the one done by cp in a terminal to be significant. Observing nautilus' behavior, it started at 7-9 mb/s, then gradually dropped speed over time and stabilized at 950 kb/s.
