Yeah, just today I went to all the effert to move the mouse down to the little green arrow in the lower right corner, then click on the little one line dialog box that popped up, so I could eject my SD adapter. Took the better part of a second. Although not doing so does not seem to cause any problems, as long as the light on the adapter is not blinking when removing the drive.
I've seen some of the youtube comparisons of macs and PCs booting, and I wonder how people can set up their PCs to work so slowly. Or maybe they don't understand that you can disable all the stuff that comes on them. Mine boots in about 45 seconds. My wife's work computer takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on how the network is feeling at the time....but she works for the government, and they have some really bizarre security stuff.
