I only have limited experience, but have found that the difference between USB 1.1 and USB 2 card readers is negligible. The read speed of the card/reader seems to be the limiting factor here. USB 1.1 memory keys are far faster than a USB 2 MMC card reader. I guess this varies according to the type of card and the quality of that card. Are CF cards faster than SD/MMC??
