I tried elevator=noop with no success. I've also tried removing the sync option as per the following with no success:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB_Discussion:Automounting_without_the_sync_Option

My only symptom so far has been slow data transfer on usb keys and usb external hard drives. I don't notice the degrading speed over time, or any effects to my network speed (only tested scp). I'm running a 64 bit AMD processor with 8 gigs memory on an updated cut of 9.10.

I've attached my dmesg log. I'll also try and run some performance tests.

Thanks for the help,
