Hi folks! I am having exactly the same problem described here: whenever I copy large 500+ MB files (video) to any USB connected drive, stick, whatever - the copy starts with a high speed (35+ MB/s), but eventually - approx. after half of it - it stalls, CPU load rises and the speed drops down to less than 1 MB/s. The copy finally finishes, but it takes hours - Windows on the same machine is wayyyy faster!
WHY? Where do I have to look - what is going on here? I really love Ubuntu and wanted to abandon other OSes forever - but with this...? I got Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on a Dell Latitude D830 with Core2 Duo processor. Any ideas?
