The excessive CPU usage is most likely either from the ntfs-3g driver
or because you don't have DMA enabled for your drives. However, it is
probably the I/O (the copying itself) that is making your computer
laggy, not the CPU usage.

Also, this is not the right mailing list, this list is for development talk.
