I never got around to reinstalling. Rather than waste any more time on this, I've moved on to the 8.10 beta. File copying is improved on my system, but it's still not working reliably.

I've been copying some data (about 30GB for each test) from my local USB drive to the my network server and I'm still experiencing a gradual slowdown over time, however it's taking a lot longer to slow down than it did under Hardy, and instead of locking the whole computer up for the duration, only file access is being periodically blocked. Any applications that were open prior to when the copy commenced remain usable.

Overall, the experience is still highly erratic, sometimes a copy works at full speed, sometimes it stalls. It's a lot better than it was though.
