Does SP1 fix slow copy/move?

[Peggy]

Can anyone tell me if installing SP1 fixes the problem with the very slow
moving or copying files in Vista?
Thanks

Yes, that was one of the major improvements.

It does not fix this issue. It makes a minor improvement, that's all.
File copying is still far slower than on XP.

Tell me exactly how fast Vista is copying files for you. No cheating.
A fair test would be between 3-5 GB worth of random data ,mixed
multimedia file types preferred encompassing at least 5,000 files
moved across physical drives not on the same controller. Use Windows
Explorer, move from/to folders with thumbnails enabled.

and forth all day and my GAWD it is painfully slow!

I have not yet installed SP1, but I can say that with my original Vista I
got a goodly improvement in move/copy speed by disabling Remote Differential
Compression: Control Panel| Programs and Features| Turn Windows features on
or off| Uncheck Remote Differential Compression. Have found no adverse
impact of disabling RDC. Not sure what I will find when I go to SP1, but it
is definitely helping me now. Give it a try....
