Why would using Cygwin's cp to copy a large file from one Windows XP box to another take 30 minutes but take only 10 minutes if I use drag 'n' drop (via Explorer)?
I saw mention of speed in other posts but couldn't figure out if there was a solution - could it be buffer sizes or something configurable? I'm in a position of defending the use of Cygwin instead of the manual Windows way of doing things by those not familiar with Unix. Any hints would be appreciated.
