copying small files
Hi all,
anyone here could tell me why copying a bunch of small files in Win7 takes so long (transfer rate under 1MB/s)...it's the same in Vista, so here's a case where Win7 didn't improve things. Doing the same sort of operation in XP or Linux can be twenty/thirty times faster.
I'd really like to have some feedback on this one, 'cause it's been bothering me for a while. Thanks
edit: copying big files is also not as fast as it should be compared to XP, but the difference is not as huge as when copying small data.
edit: I'm of course talking about copying from one partition to another on a single HDD. Copying small data to a USB key is still worse.
adding: I mean I'd call it a very serious issue, that's been there since the release of Vista, so that has nothing to do with Seven being at beta or RC stage...
