It isn't. Rob Galbraith's tests show the 8gb to be considerably slower.
Most brands get at least a bit slower as they go from 2 to 4 gb, and
again going to 8gb.
For example, the with the 5D:
JPEG RAW
Lexar 133X 2gb = 6.7 mb/s 7.6 mb/s
Lexar 133X 4gb = 6.2 mb/s 7.3 mb/s
Lexar 133X 8gb = 4.5 mb/s 6.1 mb/s
Sandisk Ultra II 2gb = 6.3 mb/s 7.3 mb/s
Sandisk Ultra II 4gb = 5.6 mb/s 6.6 mb/s
Sandisk Ultra II 2gb = 3.7 mb/s 5.4 mb/s
May not be a deal breaker at that price, but not as fast as the 2gb.
