USB: KDE faster than GNOME faster than TERMINAL ??!!

[Christophe Combelles <ccomb@free.fr>]

Something very strange :

I have done a test with a small USB1 memory key (i-stick).

I copy a 1.9 MB file from the hard drive to the USB mass storage device,
with three different methods:

1) from KDE with Konqueror : 7s  (~280 ko/s)
2) from Gnome with Nautilus: 30s (~60 ko/s)
3) from the console with cp: 50s (~40 ko/s)

The correct speed is done when using KDE, the other two are very very slow.
Does anybody has already seen this ???
