The same problem also exists for copy to slow USB keys. The copy seems to finish really fast (or KDE shows a real fast progress at the beginning and then stalls), but when you try to unmount immediately it takes up to minutes to really complete the copy process. The main problem noways is that the write cache in the Kernel is becoming much too large with current RAM sizes. I don't think there is much that KDE can do here, but the Kernel should decrease the default write cache sizes.
