No, both thunar_vfs and gio use g_rename. Copying small files in the
gio branch might be a bit slower because thunar-vfs uses mmap for
reading the source file if the size <8mb and gio read/write, but that
will be hardly noticeable.

The only slowdown thunar has compared to for example the cp command is
progress callback, because you probably want to see what's going on
and possibly cancel the transaction.
