Yes.. sometimes that works.

I tried twice this morning.. including running a reboot and a fsck on my /dev/mmcblk1p4.. both times it took me more than 1 hour to copy a single 1.5GB mp4 file.
OK, I believe you. But here is my test, right now -

/user $ time cp MyDocs/Videos/Aein.2005.DVDRip.XviD-CaYEnnE.avi /media/mmc1/
real 2m 28.52s
user 0m 0.27s
sys 0m 20.57s
/user $ ls -l MyDocs/Videos/Aein.2005.DVDRip.XviD-CaYEnnE.avi
-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 734273536 Jun 28 2006 MyDocs/Videos/Aein.2005.DVDRip.XviD-CaYEnnE.avi
/user $

Disclaimers: it is not 1.5GB file, just 700K (biggest in my N900 right now) and I am running root FS on /home partition + swap in uSD. But I feel it should be not a reason for such big difference. We can look somethere else...

Actually, I had this problem (freeze after big file copying) but it was on PR1.0 6 month ago. I thought it was fixed...

EDIT: BTW, did you have chance to look into syslog? It may be some physical errors...
