I don't remember who posted about it, but Chuck and I were in the market 
about the same time and found that the 4gb cards were all slower than 
their 2gb siblings. I went with 2gb at the time, and believe he did too.

I don't know how much a new production technology will help, as it 
seemed it was probably related to the need to go FAT32 above 2gb.
