If you go through the thread,you will see nobody went below 20MB/s. Anything below this number is what i would consider "unusual",somebody went above 1GB/s,that too i would consider "unusual".28MB/s is within expected range and seem fast enough to me.One person had an unsually hight speed of 1GB/s,a few hit the 100MB/s mark and the majority are around 50MB/s +/- 30MB/s.
Maybe the disto is used by a bunch of people with old hardware(like me),or maybe those who chose to participate use old hardware but these speeds are not unsual to "real users" out there or atleast from users i am hearing from.

Is this over USB or on an USB memory-stick? If this is a
regular HDD, something seems to be slowing it down already.
