This is still an issue in Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit) with the most up to date kernel provided through update manager:
Linux Damir-Ubuntu 3.0.0-16-generic-pae #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 19:24:01 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
I do not get transfer speeds faster than 7-8mb/s to a 8GB external USB stick....I cannot believe this issue is so old and it hasn't been addressed yet, this is a critical bug!!!
