i thought the same: choice between usb 1.x and 2.0 is done far lower level
that cygwin can really influence it. but the difference of speed made me
consipicious.
example, copying a single file (.tar.gz) of size ~70MB:
with total commander it takes 20 sec.
with cygwin it takes 4 minutes (!), which is plain too long to include it in
my script.
i know through its abstracton layer cygwin must be slower. but regarding
that slowliness could it be another reason?
There could be. But why speculate? Write yourself a simple utility that uses
CopyFile() directly and see if that makes up the difference.
