Not too shy to talk

I got a small question that isn't specific to Filer but I thought that I should ask anyway. When it comes to disk operations it anoys me that the speed is so different between applications and AOS itself. Since update 3 copying/moving files bekame really quick in AOS when using workbench/shell to copy/move files while DOPus 4 came in second place and Filer last. With update 2 on the other hand I believe that Filer was equally fast as AOS.
This is anoying because I really like Filer.. and DOpus 4 as well actually but I was using Filer almost exclusively when it was working. Powerfull, easy to use, looking nice. So when the new version is released I would love for it to be as fast when it comes to disk operations as AOS.
I also wonder if anyone got any ideas why the result is different? I thought these kinds of applications used system functions and therefor the speed should be the same? I've clocked copying the same file (an ISO) between the three and there are some big differences between them on my machine.
And the machine is an A1 XE. Can't remember if I used the SII0680-card or the SII3512 but AFAIK the speed is similar. I used the same file and harddisks in all programs though. Also I don't think that this is something new, it's been this way forever AFAIK, even back to the 3.x days.
