Is your USB really slow?

[Todd And Margo Chester]

Hi All,

SL 6.1 x64

I have noticed that writes to my USB Flash Drives
are a good 20 times slower than on my other CentOS
5.7 x32 machine.  What use to take five minutes,
now takes over two hours.  :-(

Anyone else notice this?  And, did you come up with a
work around?

Many thanks,

Extra info.  If I boot off a Fedora Core 16 Xfce Live CD, I
can copy my files to flash drive at full speed.  It is a pain
in the neck, but it works.
