How to determine when to use the xcopy with the /j parameter?
How can I tell that I should use the /j parameter to speed up the xcopy? When a file is being copied from one machine to another machine, does buffering occur on both machines or only the source or only the destination?

The file is buffered on both sides. If the file size represents a significant portion of available memory, I'd recommend using unbuffered I/O. It'll make the most difference with very large files. If the file's larger than a couple hundred MB, you might benefit from using unbuffered I/O-- experiment and see what works for you.
