Night64,

flash devices are slow and the only reason the transfer appears to be fast at the beginning is that data is written to OS memory and then later to disk. Use dstat to monitor disk performance as explained on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskPerformance, And open new bug reports please (though not in this case since your device is just slow, unless you can demonstrate better performance using Windows everything is as expected).
