[Wylug-help] ReiserFS slow copy

I've got a reiserFS server drive which I was copying (using 'cp -ax', I'm
afraid) to another Reiser drive, and while it was copying a directory with
several thousand directories containing many small files each the amount of
data it was copying was abysmally slow - like, about 1 meg a minute.  I
understand reiserfs is excellent for lots of small files so I'm at a loss to
explain it to the boss who now wants an NT server after seeing this 10 hour
copy operation. It was hitting 1 Gig a minute in other areas of the drive.
