Thank you for this report. This may depend on the underlying filesystem used on the USB drive, it's properties, and whether it is a filesystem supported natively or through fuse. Also, not all USB ports on a PC are necessarily the same. Some systems have a mixture of USB 1.0 and 2.0 ports, and USB 1.0 tends to be much slower in base I/O speeds. Finally, any USB drive likely will be slower than a build-in harddisk simply because often you have a USB device that then converts USB to SATA or PATA bus to actually talk to the actual drive. If you can identify the filesystem on the USB drive, it may help better understanding this issue.
