@bes1002t: Copying to a USB device always starts with the speed of the harddrive as all is cached till the write cache is full and ends with the speed of the usb drive. The write process has to wait till all data is written.
@Artem S. Tashkinov: The stall problems on a ssh session exists or existed. I have migrated an old server with CentOS 6 and copied some vm images. The ssh responsiveness was very bad. I had to wait for up to 20 seconds for tab auto to complete.
I many cases it was a swap problem, as the buffers are full and the caches need a long time to be written to a slow usb device. The server starts to swap process data. It's only a very small amount of data. I could increase the overall desktop performance with an RAM upgrade.
