Now i am lost. i get 81MB/sec on dd but still you get

File Copy 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks         3960.0   159513.0      402.8

and i get

File Copy 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks         3960.0   109313.0      276.0

The drives i use are Seagate 7200.10 (320Gb, SATA II, 16MB cache
with perpendicular heads)

How is it possible that you get 2x file copy perfomance ? 
What's the matter?!
