Hi there,
sync has been slow befor 2.6.13 also. This is "normal" because the FAT
is updated whenever data is written. This is not only slow, it will also
KILL your device. Using sync with FAT formated USB key will render them
useles really quick.
Try searching the archives it has been discussed before.
