Thanks for all of the comments on this. I guess I should trust flash...

However, if I continue to use Vista it may be irrelevant. I might have trouble 
living longer than it takes to actually save to a usb device with it...

Now erasing half of that 3.5GB I wrote and it looks like 2 hours to completion 
(and manual observation and calculation agree with that).

PS I remember the days, not so long ago (before Christmas last year...), when I 
could copy a few hundred GB from a USB drive to a network server in a few 
hours. That actually takes weeks now on Vista. ARG!
