Run this shell while copying the files (change the ITERATIONS value if you need to) ... it will monitor the memory usage (amount of data waiting to be written to disk). If the values remain high for too long (there may be a bottleneck when writing to disk), then your problem could be solved by tunning the pdflush parameters.
