I remember the card reader was an old Realtek USB2.0 chipset, so yes it’s slow. 6.5MB/s sounds a little _too_ slow but I wouldn’t expect more than 20MB/s out of it.
You’re right, I don’t have enough time to complete all the written stuff either. But when it came time to prepare a medical fellowship personal statements needed their assistance. It is a wonderful thing that there are now so many services available, all of which carry out their tasks skillfully and properly!
