Just throwing out rough guestimates as we don't actually have any real-world transfer rate data on-hand, something that Digital Foundry hints at.
One thing to keep in mind is that the load times between Cart and the MicroSD is extremely minimal, within a possible margin of error.

And with the 16GB UHS-1 card having a max of 80MB/s... And the fact that Nintendo also has varying degrees of ROM capacities and potential speeds... Well you get the idea. 80-90MB/s is probably on the upper-end of cart transfer rates.
Carts with smaller ROM chips will probably get significantly less than that.

What SvennoJ said ... 

We really won't know what the Switch's true transfer speeds are until we start reverse engineering the system and get it to do custom benchmarks or figure out the specs of the carts themselves ...
