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.
