You very definitely need a faster card reader. This one

runs between 8-9 MB/second when downloading from a Sandisk Ultra II card
on my wheezy old machine. I think the card is probably the limiting
factor but I don't have anything faster than the Ultra II to test it. I
don't need anything faster since the 5D can't go very much faster than
an Ultra II. Later technology cards do go faster but not by very much.
