That's why I buy high speed cards. I don't really care about the in camera speed - the fungi I photograph don't often run away - but I like to transfer from card to PC using a card reader. I recently bought a 100x 2GB card and was surprised at the wide variation in price. As I understand it, there are only a few manufacturers of memory and flash controllers, so is there really much difference in quality?
Incidentally, isn't there software to recover images from a corrupted card? I presume corruption is usually due to a write error on the FAT, given that corruption within an image would not lead to a read failure. Or do the controllers fail?
