G'day John I've got an 8 GB kingston thumb drive, and actually complained to kingston about the speed. They weren't very helpful. In my case the problem arises when transferring a folder or file comprising of many other files. The answer is to compress the folder/file and transfer the compressed image. The transfer speeds up considerably.
