It creates the directory structure first using the breadth ordering, then uses a parallel foreach loop with the taskPool to copy all the regular files in parallel.  On my corei7, this copied a 1.5GB folder with around 36K entries to a destination in about 11.5 secs (src and dest on the same ssd drive).  This was about a second better than robocopy, which is the fastest alternative I could find.   The regular win7-64 copy takes 41 secs for the same folder.

do you compare single-threaded robocopy with your implementation or 
multithreaded?

you can command robocopy to use multiple threads with /MT[:n]
