Speed slow copies

Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have discovered that when i'm doing a copy, if i press "UP" button in nautilus (changing folder i'm viewing) copies speeds up. I think nautilus is getting information from the files when they still are not finished copying, and these reads interferes with writes. This is very noticeable in external drives.

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you give details on what sort of files do you copy and how speed change?

I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, and I usually copy pictures and videos in divx or xvid. I'm not sure in how to measure speed increment. Maybe ten times faster in an USB external drive. In IDE drives is not so noticeable. Just try it, i think you'll get same result: is a known problem in foros, but people is blaming ntfs-3g driver or xfs driver.
