I don't know of anything off the top of my head, but it sounds to me like a bug (or at least a reasonable feature request). Send a PR? Have you only tried this on the one computer? It seems suspicious that all the cards are having this problem when I've only heard of two cases of USB flash-slowness causing problems so far. I'm curious to see if you have the same problem using that flash disk with a different computer. -- randi
