Research direction

Reproduce the report on Windows 10 by moving 40 small PDFs between directories on an M2 disk. Then trace the file-moving path in the fman code to identify where the delay occurs. Done means the same operation no longer takes about 30 seconds, with regression coverage for the observed case.
