USB transfer too slow on SUSE 10 with sync mount option

Hello!
Here is what troubles me:
I have a Creative MuVo mp3 player, and I connect it to the PC via usb
(v1.1)... Now when I mount it with the sync option the transfer is
awfully slow - about 3-6KB/s. I did some searching and found that this
is caused by constant syncing of the fat table in the device and could
even result in damage.
The speed is normal when the device is mounted without sync but I
cannot monitor the transfer.
I migrated to SUSE 10 a couple of days ago. Used 9.3 before that and
had no such problems! The problem occurs on both the default kernel of
suse 10 (2.6.13) and on my newly compiled 2.6.15.4.
Any ideas?
