This bug was reported one year ago. It seems that nobody cares about it.
It's very frustating to have a 500GB hard disk with 1MBps (or less) file transfers. The solution? Change the computer or install windows. I've tested FreeBSD, many linux flavours and OpenSolaris with the same results (do they share the USB code?). I thought that the USB was broken so I bought a new one, with the same results.
I'm using a 2.4 GHz computer and it's I/O is slower than a 286. Many users have the same problem with many different configurations and machines. I think that importance should be high. I wold be happy to report logs or anything that would be helpful but nobody cares....

Sorry for that text in my poor english but i'm VERY frustrated and waiting that a 2 Gig file copies in 45 minutes.... crazy.
