Vista SP1 has file copy optimizations that can significantly improve performance with some NASes, as you have found.
 
Yes, the current NAS test process is described here.

Thanks for the Russinovich link. Others have previously referenced it and it's a very good article for understanding how filecopy works in Vista SP1.
