Reason: bad code
----
On a Linux-based system, when copying a lot of files from and to a NFS shared partition, it's a
good idea to replace a simple call like
copy($orig, $dest);
by
exec($orig, $dest);
In my case, I had an improvement in speed of more than 10 times. Seems like something might be a bit
wrong with the copy() implementation in certain circumstances.
PS: make sure you filter your parameters with escapeshellcmd() first, to avoid tricky injections.
