I can't confirm the behaviour you are describing here in any way. I
can write as much as I like to all of my pendrives, and my system is
responsive as always. I do not even notice that something gets written
to a pendrive in the background while doing other things.
F16, updatet via "distro-sync" to F16. Kernel 3.1.5 (vanilla from
kernel.org, with 2 totally unrelated patches).
Nevertheless it happens and appears to affect other people as well.
Which makes it a subtle bug to find, unfortunately.
