I think the bug along with the reports needs to be split into:
>kernel issues - when even reading from/writing to the block device with hdparm/dd is unreasonably slow
>block filesystem issues - testing the above works,but copying files to/from the filesystem (preferably from something not impacted by random unexpected slowdowns, such as tmpfs) using CLI (cp/mv) is slow
>VFS/DE issues - the above works ok but using the gnome/kde is slow for whatever reason - KIO/GVFS bugs, choosing wrong block sizes, etc.
