On a linux system like Mint Tara (the latest Mint right now) does Rapid Photo Downloader copy (probably raw) images from an SD card any faster than the linux command line?

I suppose I should install and test. I will.

…any faster than something like this:

cp /media/my-login-name/"NIKON D7000"/DCIM/*/* .
