the job of introducing even more bugs into the kernel ?
AFAIK no ;)

I don't even know what tests he did.
reporting problems SHOULD include something like
XCOPY \dir1\*.* \dir2
or XCOPY \dir1\*.* \dir2 /s
or COPY \dir1\*.* \dir2
or using VC version X.Y to copy \dir1 to dir2
or etc. (here I think the 'etc.' is appropriate)
with a directory nested 5 levels deep, with 352 files, average size
~10 KB
took the following times .... makes sense.
makes sense. What Lucho comes close to marketing (read 'void of
information').
> Or you found out he did a wrong test?
there is no 'wrong test'. there are irrelevant tests (like XCOPY
only for files of zero byte, or only of 1 GB files), but given that no
further information is available of what he tested, I can't judge.

*I* care for read speed. so *I* optimized read speed (I thinks I did a
reasonable job in that; before it was cruel).
If anybody cares about write speed: this is an open source project.
Take your time, fire up your editor. Call back when you're done.

DOSBOX may be nice - as a gaming platform. unfortunately it requires a full
working OS
there are a lot of cases where you can't assume a working OS
I don't think I wasted my time (allthough it was FAR more time then I
expected when starting)
