You may want to try editing a few Windows Parameters. SMB Size When running applications that copy or move a large amount of data to a remote server, the speed of such action is determined by network speed and by the SMB (a protocal related to Windows map drive) size. NT/2000 negotiates the SMB size and will generally set this to 4K blocks for applications that are moving or copying data to a remote server. By increasing this block size, you will allow the server to complete its file copies faster. This will increase the performance of the application making the copy/move calls.
