I also have the same problem.
It seems that block files are slow and it is not possible to mount raw
files.
I tested it with dd(1) and found that fastest way to transfer data is
using raw devices:

# dd if=/dev/rsd1c of=temp.fs bs=1m
# vnconfig vnd0 temp.fs
# mount /dev/vnd0i /mnt/usb
# ... do copy ...
# umount /mnt/usb
# vnconfig -u vnd0
# dd if=temp.fs of=/dev/rsd1c bs=1m
