In my experience, Windows NT (now just Windows) is very fond of its file cache and large copies can blow up into memory paging as well. Early Windows NT was awful with this, pegging the system with a cascade of disk IO at unpredictable times, often for ten seconds or more. Can anyone suggest ways to avoid blowing the file cache on Windows with large copies? Is this even a problem anymore?
