Joe,

Yes, we copy everything 10 times just so people buy faster computers.  ;)

So, I assume copying takes 5% of the time and the rest is the the
cleanup routine? :-)


No, seriously though, the Finder's copy code is highly optimized

Hell. My RB code is that as well! It's just one Line! <g>



what a large difference you're seeing. Such a large difference may indicate a bug; I suggest you report it with REALbugs.

I have to verify that on a desktop machine before I real bug it.


Meanwhile, as a work-around, consider using an embedded AppleScript or AppleEvents to have the Finder copy the files for you.

I'm going for win32 too...

Thanks for the hint.

Kind regards
Roland
