Hmmm without being a maintainer. I would say cp -r is most used on
single disk, so one thread is using the maximum disk iops taking y time
to copy. What would solve using multiple threads each taking their share
of the maximum disk iops, and because of the scheduling and other
overhead finishing later than y time?

Subject: question about parallelism in cp command
Hi folks,
Is there something philosophically incorrect in making a “cp”
multi-threaded and allow for parallel copies when “cp -r” is done? If
it’s something that’s possible, are there any plans in making a
multi-threaded cp?
I’m not a member of the list so I kindly request you cc me on the
reply.
Thank you.
