Could this be the 512B / 4K sector size problem?
If performance is horrible, it could well be a stick / partition
mismatch. I never investigated, but if the stick is faking a 512B sector
size, so the partition is using 4K blocks aligned on sector 1, it will
kill write speed, and in time will kill the stick, too!
