Very slow performance copying encrypted files to a network share.

It took 32 minutes to copy 160MB (210 files, 57 folders) from a local
encrypted folder to an unencrypted network share mapped to a local drive
letter (T:).
During the copy process the CPU was most of the time idle with some peaks to
40%.
To copy 14 word files (2MB) it takes around 3 minutes!
Of course any copy operation without encryption is normally fast.

Tests were performed with an IBM Netvista M42 (PIV 2.4Ghz), but poorly
performed the same on an IBM Thinkpad T42 and IBM Netvista M50.

I can't belive this is the common EFS performance, does anybody know how to
fix/workaround this problem?

Thanks in advance.
