Hi

While copying many and large files to and from a USB drive, the system
becomes incredibly slow and sometimes hangs. I watched the system
monitor while it was running slowly but cpu was not above 50% at any
time, the same for memory.

I'm using the "WD my passport" HD with a USB3 port of my "ASUS K55VD"
laptop.

Description:    Ubuntu 13.04
Release:        13.04

nautilus:
  Installed: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16
  Candidate: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 0
        500 http://ubuntu-archive.mirror.nucleus.be/ raring/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Steps to reproduce:
1) Aquire many large files (like your totally legit moviecollection)
2) Copy files to external HD
3) Open your browser and be sad when your system becomes incredibly slow after 
a few minutes


This is my first bugreport so if I'm missing something, please tell me.
