Ubuntu - File Copy Seems Resource Intensive

[Gregory Piñero]

Hi guys,

I just started copying about 5GB between two partitions using Nautilus
in freshly installed 6.06 (first time doing this) and now that the
copy is going, anything else I try to do takes an extremely long time.
 e.g. 2+ minutes to open Firefox, etc.  Is this normal?  Is there
something I should change?

Much thanks,
