Could be any number of reasons.  I know when I had bad blocks the copy 
process was painful.  Also, if you are coping from within XP then the 
time is usually wrong.  Has been for me on more than one occasion.  If 
you are coping from a Ubuntu then the transfer rate should be on the 
progress window if it's low then odds are that the system is negotiating 
some bottle neck.
