Am I correct in thinking that 'sync' disables write-caching? It might
be interesting to change that, and see if performance is still just as
bad.

Can't help with your problem but on Fedora 14
ntfs-3g-2011.1.15-1.fc14 Fri 04 Feb 2011 06:47:18 GMT
So the ntfs drivers were updated in early february about when you say the
problem started.
You could try and downgrade the drivers and see if that sorts out your problem
