An SSD drive might not have this problem, but a spinning disk definitely

long contiguous reads and writes, but if you have multiple copies
happening, the read and write head will be bouncing all over the disk.
And what does that have to do with the progress window issue?
Sorry for taking the thread off-track. I had accidentally deleted the
original message and thought there was something about multiple copies
taking a long time as well.
I agree with you that the progress info window is not so useful and
often seems somewhat broken.
