I tried it (no problem yet) and did a bit testing...
(cp -R /sys/ /tmp/s, dd if=/dev/zero of=smth count=1000000, cp smth smth1 and
so on)

and it seems like its actually a bit slower (but everything works properly) -
did I get anything wrong? should the results be a bit better (I did three runs
every time of each test)
