2193	Make MC faster at copying files withing one HDD: add a large buffer option	birdie	andrew_b	"Currently MC has the same small buffer (64K) for all copy operations regardless their source and destination.

This has the following problem: when you need to copy a small file withing one physical HDD, HDD itself will spend a good chunk of time repositioning heads to read the next tiny portion of data.

I propose to implement a new Copy File(s) dialog option:

[X] Use large buffers

where copy_large_buffer can be defined as an option of the mc.ini file, with a default value of 64MB (it's quite sane for modern PCs)."	enhancement	closed	major	4.8.17	mc-core	master	fixed		gotar@… powerman-asdf@…			merged	committed-master
