Probably the reader/card combo, mostly reader. I did some testing of 
read speeds, in MB/sec.:

                          2GB    4GB
Reader                    UII   ExIII
-------------------------------------
Built-in in desktop       2.6   2.6
Old All-In One            5.6   5.6
NEW All-In One           10.0  20.4
Super Power              10.3  10.8
CF=>IDE=>USB              9.8  22.3

You can see that the bottleneck varies between reader and card. Looks 
like your 10-12 for an Ultra II is card limited, as expected.
