jamesnmandy,
For someone who 'does not have the time to file a proper bug report', you seem to have plenty of time to write notes complaining about the bug. Seriously --- if you aren't willing to help determine the problem --- and you like GUI solutions --- maybe you should just go back to Windows. You may find that you have even less responsiveness to your bug reports, unless you pay $$$ to Microsoft, but hey, if it makes you happier, you should switch.
The problem could be with Nautilus (the gui file manager); or it could be with the device driver; or it could be with the ext3 filesystem issue where some process was triggering fsync calls. If you aren't willing to figure out why it's no fast enough for you, and you aren't willing to lift your little finger to help us figure out why; then please, don't complain --- you're clearly unhappy, and perhaps moving to Vista will make you happy. And at the end of the day, it's better for you to be happy than to have you bitter and complaining --- really, trust me, in the end you'll be happier to stop kvetching about Linux. It's simply not productive for anyone, least of all yourself.
On the other hand, if you are willing to learn a few things, and spend a bit of time, then maybe using Linux will be more rewarding for you --- and again, in the long time you will probably be happier.
