I use 30x as the speed difference in practice ([EMAIL PROTECTED] vs [EMAIL PROTECTED] is technically 40x difference, but 30x seems about right in empirical timings - I think USB 2.0 makes up a little ground on efficiency of getting a transfer started).

I knew the difference was great, but never realized - or checked - just how

Don't even think of trying to efficiently download 1G cards with USB
1.1 ... average transfer rate with a Sandisk Ultra II card is
6.5Mbytes per second on my system, a full 1G card takes about two and
half minutes at that rate. At USB 1.1 speeds, that same card would
take over an hour to download.
