Very true.  When transferring large amounts of data from one OS X 
system to another, I prefer to either use rsync (rsyncX) or ftp 
(whatever your favorite ftp client may be), as I find them to be faster 
than AFP.  In fact, even when grabbing data from mounted CD's or DVD's, 
I prefer to rsync (rsyncX) it off, as it is not only faster, but does 
it in a more "orderly" fashion than the Finder,  resulting in much less 
disc access noise coming from my machine.

But, this is my experience and opinion only.  YMMV
