Thanks for the report, but could you please provide the following additional information (I cannot reproduce the issue):
- Is Nepomuk/Strigi enabled?
- Which view-mode are you using?
- Which panels have you enabled (Information Panel?)
- What is "big"? 2 GB files, 1 MB files?
- Please describe exactly how you triggered the copy operation (e.g. by drag & drop or by selecting "cut" and "paste" afterwards?)

No.

Same problem in single and split view.

Places and Information panel.

Actually the file size doesn't matter.
It only matters the duration of the copy process, which is quite short at small files. Too short to recognize the lags of Dolphin.

I always move/copy files by selecting "cut"/"copy" and "paste" them into a directory.

It lags especially when copying files from or onto my SMB share.

Thanks for the update.

Are you sure the UI freezes in any case if *not* SMB is used? I'm quite sure in this case it is SMB related as there are some known issues in this area. If you can reproduce a freeze of the UI for several seconds without SMB please let us know, otherwise I'll forward this report to kio/smb.

The UI freezes slightly without SMB, but quite intensively with SMB.
Comment 5 Peter Penz 2011-11-13 13:19:21 UTC 
OK, reassigning to SMB...

Probably related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264557. See if the solution mentioned in that bug report resolve the issue for you.
