If one tries to move a big folder with many files from one place to
another but in the same partition, it seams that Operation.app traverses
through the whole folder and this can take a considerable amount of time
and processor resources.  With big enough folders Operation.app can
consume so much resources that the computer becomes almost irresponcible
until killing Operation.

It seams that Operation.app implements the copy and move oprations in 
two phases.  During the first it traverses the folder and during the 
second it performs the requested operation.  The progres bar is 
functioning only during the second stage.

When Operation.app is in the first stage it seams that it can not accept
a second operation.  However it is able to perform simultaneously many
operations provided that all of them are in the second stage.
