Slow on USB

[Elbert]

>>Do you have a USB 2.0 drive, port, and driver?<< Well, they claim to be.

There's something funny going on here and it isn't UR:

. If I move the .urb to an actual hard disk plugged into the same USB hub, inserting a child data item seems about as fast as on c:

. With the same .urb on the Attache 2GB memory stick (nearly new, claims to be USB 2) it takes 5 or 6 seconds.

. On an older Attache 512MB, it takes 2 or 3 seconds.

This is the first time I've tried to use a memory stick for anything more than moving a few files from here to there. Does anybody know if they are inherently much slower than actual disk drives? Should I be trying to find a faster one or are they all the same?

I'm sorry for raising the false alarm about UR. Thanks for the help.
