I was also curious about that, but based on the behavior of all machines
i tested, it appears that drive access is rather quick. During most of
the transfer time, the drive LED is off, so i assume that drive I/O is
not an issue. Again tho, since I've been unable to find the cause, I'll
give your suggestion a try.
Thanks Andrew.
