Why is mysqldump grossly inefficient. I thought this was the standard to backing up a mysql database. I use dump / restore to back up my hard drive. Would this be a better option to do a separate dump on the mysql database?

Since 4 web sites rely on the data, shutting it down to copy it is not a good option either. Has anyone used mysqlhotcopy? The perl doc says it is still in beta, which makes me a little nervous.
