@philinux,

You can't buy a 15mb/sec usb stick.
For all we know the slowness you are experiencing could be due to it being formatted as NTFS or just a slow flash drive.
3MB/s is the expected speed of a flash drive, anything more then that can likely be attributed to compression / caching / delayed write settings.
(That's why the SDHC classes were introduced http://www.sakoman.com/OMAP/microsd-card-perfomance-test-results.html)

You said that windows was "about" 7MB/s and Linux was "about" 3MB/s
You need to post the results of a disk benchmarking tool on the same drive from both OSes.
(I have no recommendations for what windows benchmarking tool to use.)
