when running a little program using CopyFile() under cygwin it is about as quick as totalcommander. so it must be the abstraction layer of cygwin which makes copying veeeery slow...
Not necessarily. To draw that conclusion, you would want to compare the implementation of 'cp' compiled natively ('gcc -mno-cygwin' for example) with Cygwin's and your little program. Only if the natively compiled version performed much closer to your program using CopyFile() could you conclude that Cygwin is to blame. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
