Comment 18 for bug 182931

Fishor's comment (#11) made me think.

I tried to copy to a flashdisk which I had previosuly manually mounted with the mount -o async parameter. It seems that speed indeed improved quite a bit. Can't say for sure though, as terminal doesn't report speed by default while copying.

The kernel I'm using is: 2.6.24-27-rt

I'd be glad if anyone tested and had a look at the transfer rates
