USB Flash Drive Benchmarks

I got a 1 gig USB flash drive called the Cruzer Micro, manufactured by Sandisk. It's extremely tiny, about 2 inches long by 1/4 inch thick and it has some pretty impressive read/write benchmarks with the default vfat filesystem:

Write 200M file
real 0m23.748s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m1.158s

Read 200M file
real 0m18.151s
user 0m0.035s
sys 0m1.594s

Unfortunately, it has the same write limitations as Compact Flash.
