Bug Description

This is not just with the new package, seen also with the python2.7 version (0.2.40ubuntu1 + Do not use INT_MAX patch) which worked fine a couple of days ago.
Transfer speeds to usb flash drive(s) thru nautilus are normal, SDC is appearing to take up to 10hrs. to create the disk vs. 3-4 min.'s normally

I downgraded the installed udev source packages to 175-0ubuntu15 & SDC is working fine again. (almost
The python2.7 version writes at normal speeds (3 min), the new python3 writes slow, (20 min to complete) but not like with new udev as per screenshot

So I guess this report maybe premature as SDC is still in proposed, if so apologize. If it goes out of proposed & still is either " extremely" slow or just slow then guess report may be valid

Well out of proposed & as noted the speed with current udev is beyond terrible
