The sync option kills the writing speed of the disk: from >20MB/s to 2MB/s. I'm still trying to like this automatic mounting stuff: at the moment it's more annoying than useful. There are many heavily configurable parts involved in the process: udev, hal, KDE/GNOME. A good "all-inclusive" documentation is still missing, as far as I've found around.
