Michael,
Just timed my card readers copying to a PC for comparison.
Lexar multicard reader USB2 took 4 min 20 secs to copy 99 D100 files (.99GB) from a IGB Microdrive and 4 mins 50 secs from a Lexar 1GB x40 card.
Lexar jumpshot reader USB1 took 18 mins to copy the same from the Lexar 1GB card (doesn't work with Microdrive).
Interesting that copying with Win Explorer was faster than with Nikon Transfer, but this may depend on what else you are asking Nikon Transfer to do while copying (display thumbs, add IPTC info, renumber, etc.)

Get a USB2 card reader, and it'll improve it dramatically, even using Microdrives. Using a PCMCIA slot, it also took me about 8 mins to d/l a 1GB microdrive, however, with a USB2 reader, 512 probably takes a mins or less.
