when I start a large directory copy (a few gigs) the speed kde reports 
is 40-50MB/s.....this quickly drops to 30-70KB/s.

Is this incorrectly reported or is there some setting that needs tweaking?

hdparm settings are checked
dma on
32 bit
maxsectrns at 16(drive max)

2.6.11
controller is a NForce2 ata
drives are WD ata100(on same channel) w/8MB cache
