it's been a long long time since I could copy large amount of data to my
usb stick fast in ubuntu, probably since 7.04 or 7.10. (Maybe, just
maybe, I can find the time to reinstall old ubuntu versions and test.
I'll get back to you if I do).

Recently I wanted to copy 10GB to a 16GB usb stick, from ext4 to fat32.
After 30 minutes I got tired and clicked abort, it took some time to
abort the operation. Then I transferred the 10GB to a usb hard drive
with ntfs (quite quick), logged in to xp (dualboot so same computer) and
transferred from the usb hard drive to the usb stick (still in the same
usb port) and it didnät take as long as 5 minutes. Sorry to say but it
really is depressing.

I'll get back to you if I get some real testing done.
