Just as I was moving all my files from my EXT4 home drive to an external USB drive (in case you're wondering, I'm dumping Ubuntu) I hit this exact same bug. Starting speed is about 40 MB/s with HDD led being constantly lit and ending up around 3 MB/s with almost no HDD activity on the LED. This bug right here is one of the many examples of bugs for which I can no longer use Ubuntu.
