The thing to remember is that, just like the camera, the card reader
has a maximum speed that it will read/write to the card. So you're
right, a better card reader will read and write faster than an
older/crappier one.
I just ordered a small SD card reader/jump drive for $6. We'll see how
fast it is. Now I just need to get some faster 1GB cards and a DSLR...

The card works fine, but I was disappointed with the read/write speed on
the computer. Investigating the situation, I discovered that different
card readers, in addition to the different USB ports on my computer, can
provide wide variance in read/write speeds. Further, TD Tune and HD Tach
each provide different results. So, while the card isn't as fast as I'd
like when used on the computer, it's a marked improvement over the slower
512mb cards I'd been using. Still, I'd like to find a way to speed things
up on the machine end.
I you have a notebook, a PCMCIA/CardBus to SD reader is often one of the
faster readers out there. Or a USB2.0 compliant reader (older USB1.1 is
an order of magnitude slower).
