What do I do to optimize the file transfer rate of a Memory Stick Duo?

The file transfer was not like this when it was still new. Can reformatting give new life to a memory stick?

It takes about 20 minutes just to transfer 1Gb of file from computer to memory stick. The computer is decent enough. 2.50Ghz processor, 2Gb ram.
