[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#706034: very slow copying using mc versus cp

[Ubuntu6226]

Package: mc
Version: 3:4.7.0.9-1
Severity: normal



cp() in C is normally very fast.

I have to look to the code of mc for copying, why it does 300 kb instead of regular bash with cp (900 kb)

Well, you really need to improve that into cp

Kind rgards

PS. please also implement an real file move such as mv
