Does saving move or copy/delete ?

Well, the whole question is in the topic.

Maybe it is too obvious that saving moves the file from the databasefolder to the saving location, but when I watch the speed and the interference with other harddisk activities, I get the impression that the saving process goes faster, if the databasefolder is on an other physical harddrive, than if they are on the same partition.
I would expect that saving (in case of moving on the same partition) would go faster, while copy/deleting on the same partiton would go slower.
Hence my question

Copy/delete, or more correctly UE stores any binary posts in the original message encoding in the database folder, so when saving UE actually is reading from the database and then decodes the messages and then combines them while saving to the save folder.
