Large file copies using too much CPU time

Arts isn't logging anything strange, from what I can see...actually, I can't 
find a log of any sort from arts, tbh =\  Where does it log to by default?

As for the drive settings, is there anything from within the OS itself that 
I'd have to set?  The drives are set up correctly from within the BIOS... 
(sorry, I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to dealing with hardware settings 
in Linux =P)

Thanks!
