This has been driving me nuts over the past few days, and having googled the problem it appears to be pretty widespread.

Basically if you delete, or move a large file or folder in Vista, it takes ages. Moving a file within a volume should be almost instantaneous, as the file itself doesn't get moved, only the pointer to it. I moved a 1.5gb folder today and it took nearly 4 minutes, whereas it takes a matter of seconds in XP.

This is what a google search brings up. At least I'm not alone.

One of those searches recommended installing KB 931770, but this made no difference. I wasn't that surprised anyway as the article refers to slow copying from network shares, but this is happening just moving a file within a local disk.

Anyone else noticed this problem or found a solution yet?
