Copying multiple files (1000+) - Progress bar update is slow! Any ideas?

When I copy 1000+ raw files from any drive to another it takes a long time before the copy progress bar shows up, and some times it just takes a long time before the progress is updated. When it is updated, it has already copied alot of the files. Quite annoying, because you don't really get if it has begun copying, if it's hanging or what... Seems to me that the new per-file progress bar takes up too many ressources!

Btw I'm not on a slow system. 2.5 Quad core i7 MBP, 16GB RAM, OCZ Vertex 3 SSD...

Anyone got any ideas on this?
