To avoid misunderstandings:
TeraCopy doesn't accelerate file operations at all.
But it helps copying/moving large amounts of files by adding sth like a "queue", which avoids deadlocks and can be paused/resumed whenever it's needed... thus, it's a great improvement.
By the way:
TC2 has also got neater progress bars than 1.x had.
I didn't perceive big differences, moving a few 100 MBytes almost every day...

A few 100Mb is practically nothing... The program is called TeraCopy and it does accelerate considerably larger (I use it for backups etc - multiple hundreds of Gb).
Edit: Just checked, the pro version has the queue feature. Getting the trial to see if it's worth the $20 license.
Also, a portable version would be nice to have on my USB flash drive.

Check this one:
http://www.copyhandler.com/en/downloads/index.php - Copy Handler...
I've switched from TeraCopy to this one, it supports queued operations and better yet it's Open Source.
COPY HANDLER - http://www.copyhandler.com/en/downloads/index.php
- copying data at rates up to 6-7 times faster than standard MS Windows copying (when copying data from one partiton to another on the same physical hard disk);
- allow full-control over the copying/moving process by pause, resume, restart and cancel features;
- fully customizable - over 60 detailed options - from setting language (multiple languages) through auto-resume on error, shutting down system after copying finished to very detailed and technical (customizing copy/move thread - buffer sizes, thread priority, ...) ending on sounds on specific events;
- multiple languages support - and more may appear, since the translation process is quite easy;
- provides detailed informations about copy/move process (currect file, buffer sizes, priority, progress by size and visual bar, status, current and average speed, time elapsed/left, ...);
- can automatically resume all unfinished operations when system starts;
- limiting count of simultaneously processing tasks (copyings/movings) - tasks are set into a queue and are processed in order it was inserted into queue;
- integration with system - adds additional commands to context menus of folders and drag&drop menus;
- this program is open source - just download and use...
