Description

using fman on a very powerful windows 10 machine used for video editing and when I want to copy a large batch of videos between folders, it takes minutes to do what windows file explorer does in seconds. Sadly makes an otherwise very promising program near useless.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the comparison on Windows 10 with a large batch of video files, then trace the file-copy path and measure it against Windows File Explorer; done means large-file copying is no longer dramatically slower than the native tool.
