>>This makes sense. A copy from a network drive actually moves the data from the source drive to memory on your local PC, and then from your local PC's memory to the target. The network is being visited twice. If you're using a network that's slow relative to the speed of your local hard drive, the whole thing makes sense, and short of a faster LAN, there isn't much that can be done.

FWIW, if the facility is already wired with CAT5, and the servers and some workstations have 10/100 capable NICs, changing the hubs to switchable 10/100 hubs may make a tremendous difference.
