Any faster way to general file copy?

[Sin Jeong-hun]

I've always used the old way I learned from when I began programming.
1. Read # bytes into the buffer from the source file
2. If bytes read is 0 then exit.
3. Else write buffer into the destination file.
4. Goto 1.

It looks like the easiest way to this job but when I did so, it seems
the copy process is slower than in Windows Explorer. And it looks if
the buffer is larger, then the speed generally gets faster.
Anyways, isn't there any faster way to copy a file?

You could try System.IO.File.Copy
