I believe it has to do with usb2.0 not being fully implemented. You will get better speeds on openbsd depending on which filesystem you use. For example, copying speeds will be faster if you format your flash disk to FFS instead of msdos (not sure if you did this already, I could not see disk format in the outputs from your email).
