As I understand, file operations (moving and copying) are implemented
in Python for portability (GNU cp/mv features are not available
everywhere). It also permits having a progress bar, that we didn't have
when ranger used cp/mv. However, it is not as efficient, and I perceive
gui slowdowns when copying a large number of small files.

I don't have this problem. Do you remove your usb storage properly
(using e.g. umount command)?
