Technically, I think it only speeds up the flash drive because it's writing to a cache. When you remove the drive, by doing safely remove hardware, you have to wait for it to write the cache back to the flash drive. For copying a single file, or a group of files, I doubt this would net you any time. If you're doing a bunch of writing and reading to and from the drive (such as when you're using portable apps), I can see this saving a lot of time.

This is correct. The reason for using the "safely remove hardware" method is to give the pc a chance to dump the cache back onto the flash drives memory. Your read/write times will be marginally faster, but the time you save in reading and writing will be used up while the drive is being written to. Also, there have been plenty of times when the drive has been removed form the pc without safely doing it, and I have never had any major problems. I have ended up with corrupt or missing files, but no damage has ever been done that a format hasn't been able to fix.
