"sync" option with usb storage makes it real slow since 2.6.13

[Savar <savar@schuldeigen.de>]

Hi all,

When I mount an usb stick with the option "sync" (USB 2.0) I got a
writing speed about 15 kbyte/s. Reading is ok (ca. 1 s for 2,3 MB). 
It doesn't matter if trying as root or normal user. I only have to
unmount the stick and remount it without "sync" and writing is fast.
That means I write something on the stick (ok it's buffered) and 
then I type "sync" as command and after 1 s it's done (LED from
usb stick turned off and data were written).

All this starts with kernel 2.6.13, 2.6.12 was ok.

I'm using 2.6.13 (not >)!
If it's solved in an newer Kernel, please ignore this email.
