Windows neatly sidesteps the entire problem by making file IO CPU-bound via malware scanners.
More serious answer: has anyone benchmarked the bufferbloat in writing directly to a USB stick compared to spinning up a VM, handing the USB device to that, exposing the stick as an NFS share and writing that way? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the latter works better.
