When I copy a big file from a folder to another folder it's slower than cut and paste. Why is that?
Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : why is CTRL X faster than CTRL C?

When you Copy a file
you are creating a new file
when you copy and Paste
you are just MOVING the file
that's why it's so quick
:D :t

is that it passing by refference and passing by value in C++? Can someone explain in technical terms what happens? I'm just curious :D

When you move files from folder to folder on the same hard drive, same partition, you are not actually moving the contents of the file from one cluster to another, you are changing the directory entry for that file to match the command you gave, i.e. changing the pointer to the file.
I was trying to find some more techspeak for this, but couldn't find anything better than my own words. I'll keep looking for techy terms, if you'd like.
