Extremely slow file copying / moving / deleting

$

I've had what I though to be intermittent problems with explorer getting hung up or taking forever while moving files to a different directory, or even deleting files.

However, I have been doing some testing and found that I can copy/move/delete even gigabyte files in no time at all unless they are... Eureka!  Media files!

Videos and music files seem to be the only ones with this kind of problem.  Does not matter the size.

It gets hung on Time Remaining:   Calculating....
                       Items Remaining:  Calculating...
                       Speed...                Calculating...

Or if trying to delete:

It gets hung on Preparing to recycle
                       Discovering items....
                       Time Remaining:   Calculating....
                       Items Remaining:  Calculating...
                       Speed...                Calculating...

Any ideas?
