Indeed, there is an improvement. But, especially in the case with an
encrypted /home, copying a large file from a fast source means I better
go get another cup of coffee rather than continue working on something
else in the meantime.


BTW, I've tested this with a default install of
OpenSUSE 11.1, and I get basically the same behaviour.
