I'm not using nautilus, but I'm still affected. I'm having a system
slowdown even when copying files over 10Mbit network, so it may be not
just USB related. Generally, when some I/O is at its full capacity
(being that slow USB 2.0 or slow 10Mbit network transfer), the whole I/O
of the OS comes to a crawl. For example, if I copy a 1GB file over
10Mbit network, until that copying is finished, everything disk-related
is slowed down (stating of programs, opening files). I have 3 hard
drives in my computer, if I copy something from second to third (OS is
installed on first), starting programs is still slowed down, although
drive holding the OS and programs isn't participating in file copying.
