Speed of what, exactly? Copying from where to where? What is the size of the file? If you try to copy it again, the file will likely be cached already, and hence the copying will end much faster. Furthermore, cp may end before the result is actually written to the target - it may be merely a bunch of dirty blocks in some cache along the way (a cache of the OS and/or of the disk controller) -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
