That does sound really slow. Unless you're transferring 10+GB every time onto a really bad Class 2 SD card: that's the only way I can see it taking hours.
You may want to try a different USB cable, and check to make sure the port you've plugged it into on your computer is USB2.0, not USB1.1. My laptop has that problem, one USB2.0 port and one USB1.1 port so if you plug it into the wrong one it goes slow.

The Pandora SD slots are limited to around 15-17 MB/s.

For big files, it's better to copy directly on PC.

16GB at 16MB/second = 17 minutes.
If it's taking hours, either there's a problem with the USB or the card is really, REALLY slow. Or d4damage is copying way more than 16GB but I get the feeling that's not the case.

If you're transferring lots of small files, it will decrease your speed drastically, which might be your case. Also using SD Mass Storage program is not the fastest way to transfer files. You should get usb card reader which are not expensive(I paid $7), considering you spent hundreds on the pandora itself.
