From the usbmon trace you posted, we can find the writing is slowly:
complete writing more than 700MB into usb mass storage device in
about 260sec.

So firstly, it is just very slow, and nothing to do with system freezes
(you can do other things when the transfer is ongoing)

Also could you make sure if you can get better writing performance
on windows in the same machine with the same usb mass storage
device?

Thanks
