Well, there is a thing we often forget.  The Workbench program is not
much multitasking internally.  So if you copy a file or drawer with it,
you won't be able to do anything else with the Workbench program.  But,
if you have Directory Opus loaded or a shell or anything else, it will
be available and working while the Workbench do its work.

The Workbench program is the oldest remaining part of the original
Amiga OS,  it needs a lot of work.  I kept telling that to the
Commodore's developers before they went under but I was answered that
the workbench rewrite was very low in Commodore's priority.
