      On Linux/macOS, the file copy implementation uses a fixed 8k buffer. This should be re-examined as this isn't a good buffer size for some cases (like NFS). Ideally the buffer size should be a multiple of both the source and target block sizes.

      On Windows, we should use the COPY_FILE_NO_BUFFERING flag when copying "large files". This flag is documented to improve copy performance for large files.
