Question about performance copying files on Ubuntu 10.10

[Daniel Nascimento]

Hi folks.

First of all I'll introduce myself. My name is Daniel and I'm from Brazil
(so sorry my poor English :D ). I've been using Linux on my day-by-day in
the last 2 years. I'm not an advanced user, but not a simple user either :D

My first question on this list is: I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 at my
workstation (Dell Latitude E4310, Core i5 and 3GB Ram) and the system is
running smoothly as expected, but I've noticed that the system has some
performance problems when copying a huge amount of files.

In my case I was copying 32GB from Windows partition (NTFS) to Ubuntu
Partition (ext4) and I could notice the system taking so much longer to
answer or even open applications (as Firefox/Chrome for example). I've made
the same test into Windows and had no trouble during the proccess.

Of course I don't want to start a fight between users comparing performance
of Windows and Ubuntu during copy of files, I just want to know if does it
happen with someone else?

Cheers
