Troubleshooting • Re: PI 5 disk to disk file move slow and processor hot!

Today I started a move on my notebook and it estimated 2 hours. I decided to move the move to my new Pi 5 8GB with the official power supply and the latest OS downloaded a couple of days ago. It should be faster than the Pi 4 with double the USB bandwidth. Instead the Pi OS file manager estimated 12 hours and the CPU temp went through the roof.
I remember there was a topic with similar symptoms, although network I/O related. Topic ended in no use of Pi5 anymore.

My impression is that the lower layers of SW (e.g. PCI-E <> RP1 <> USB3/RJ45 gets into a error state and/or and avalanche or recovery actions or so. With result the only very little transactions are successful or just a very low percentage of a transaction/data block. A device-to-device copy should all be done by handled by DMA, it is not that we look at a 40 year old IBM PC with the x86 CPU doing PIO instructions to shuffle data. Instead, at some point in time people could install DMA driver for their HDD I/O chip-set, then higher throughput and very little CPU overhead.
The RPI1 chip is like the "HDD I/O chip-set" in my simple modelling, so something around there is likely going fatal more or less. I do not know if the connector between the 2 HDMI can be used for outputting debug messages of what runs on the RPT1, but I would guess it can.

Maybe you can state how many bytes are involved. I would use rsync, it also can output transferspeed (rsync -avxP ...) . So what speed shall be expected?
