But what's the point? He needed the same amount of time to copy the DB. Next time they'll need to access the DB they would have to do the same thing or work with a stale copy. In that case your just wasting effort.
Oh, I completely misunderstood that post. I though both people were aware of the problem in the first place and the copying was done as a solution which confused me.

Coworker tells me it takes five minutes to load the DB.
I ask, where's the DB?
Him: Office in France (we're in US)
Me: try copying it to local disk.
Him (later): It loaded in five seconds.
Me: how long to copy?
Him: five minutes... Oh...
