I don't see that much will be gained by copying files.. The files are already on an HP NetRaid controller with fast SCSI drives (Configured for RAID-5). What's slowing us down is our Pentium III 500Mhz quad-processor system running NT 4.0. What I end up doing is running four compressions at once so that I can fully use the processing power. A dual Pentium 4 at 2 GHz would be much faster, I believe, but it still takes time!
