Thanks, Rafael. In terms of benchmarking, I’m looking to compare the performance of my system to another MacPro, but I only have mine. So what I was wondering is if there’s some application that does some standard tests and provides an evaluation of performance. Or if perhaps there’s some sort of site where folks post their stats so that I might compare that with the performance of my system.
Mac Pro mid-2010 2.8GHz Quad-Core
Mac OS X (10.6.4)
16GB RAM
2TB Boot Drive
6TB Internal RAID-0 -
Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I guess I’ll assume this is par for the course, then. Much appreciated!

Thanks so much, Zane. Very helpful. My FCP media is in fact on its own drive (a RAID, though admittedly not one of the speed you propose). The background copy operations do not involve that RAID, just the boot drive and an external hard drive. So, given that the media drive is not being directly written or read to by the background finder copy operation, does this slow down behavior still seem par for the course to you? Again, your thoughts are much appreciated.

Hi Jeremy: Thanks for responding. As indicated, I get the same slowdown whether I’m copying to or from any combination of an external firewire 800 drive, the internal SATA 2TB boot drive or internal 6TB RAID 0 (consisting of 3 2TB slices with a block size of 256K). The SATA drives are Hitachi Deskstars.

John: Intriguing suggestion! Thanks for it. But unfortunately using ditto command from Terminal on the same folders actually results in an even longer render time.
