title: Is XCOPY the fastest tool to copy folders/files over Windows file system?
body: <p>I have a maintenance task to copy folders from one server to another.
  the source folder is big - roughly ~Ks of files / 5-6 tree levels and overall size of ~1GB.</p>
  
  <p>I was using Robocopy.exe and XCOPY.exe from windows command line and their performance is fair, and i wonder if there a faster tool to deliver the task.</p>
  
  <p>of course the actual performance is highly dependend on network overload, but i believe the test cases use the same environment.</p>
