try enabling big_writes option for ntfs-3g.

I did it on a wubi installation and it seems to have brought a significant improvement, but cpu usage of ntfs-3g is still very high.
in /etc/default/grub write:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootflags=big_writes quiet splash"

clearing the "dirty flag" improves performance too, I think.
