The Kingston cards aren't nearly as fast as an Ultra II. Which is where
the performance bottleneck comes in. The Kingston cards (I've got a 1GB
CF unit) are solidly middle of the road for performance.

That sounds like you're getting the same throughput as I see with a
Belkin USB 2.0 card reader and a 2G Sandisk Ultra II CF card: about 5
minutes for a complete, full card download.
The differential from USB 2.0 to USB 1.1 is typically about 30-40x in
transfer time. Cardbus should allow a bit faster than USB 2.0, but
often doesn't.

I'll second that. I've just switched from a regular PCMCIA adapter,
which was around the same (slow) speed as my USB 1.1 connection, to
a nice cardbus adapter. It is, indeed, an order of magnitude faster;
it now takes me around 5 minutes to download a full (Kingston) 2GB card,
which used to take more like 45 minutes.
