I am dismayed at the reduced file copy speed in Vista, as opposed to XP.
This is due to the fact that Vista must first calculate precisely the number
and size of the files to be copied so that it can report the estimated time
and transfer speed for the copy process. If you are trying to copy or
transfer a large block of files, Vista might set there and putter around
calculating the estimated time for several minutes. I would rather invest
that time in actually copying files. I could care less about how accurate
the estimated transfer time readout is.
I may be error about what is really going on, nonetheless, it is a
considerably slower process than XP. I have compared comparable large file
transfers between XP and Vista and found that Vista could take as much as 5x
longer.
Does anyone know how to speed up this process, or circumvent some of the
nonsense that Vista is performing?
