I installed that kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/ it's an Ubuntu build.

This machine has only ever had Precise on it. For the last few years I've been using mostly Debian, but I ended up with Ubuntu because Debian (for some reason) couldn't control the fan. So I couldn't say whether other 'buntus on this hardware had the same problem.

I have always had trouble with USB being slow in the past, since the first release, but I generally assumed it was either the device or my controller. This Toshiba machine is the first Ubuntu/Win7 dual-boot I've had for a while and it was only in Windows that I noticed how slow Ubuntu was.

lsusb attached. Not sure why it's reporting as a 64MB drive, it's a PNY 4GB. But that's just one from the pile which all exhibit the same issue.
