Subject: read slower than write on "mv"?

This is not XFS specific, I see it on every filesys. I do a 
"mv . /newlocation" and see this with iostat:

Device:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s     r/s     w/s    rkB/s    wkB/s avgrq-
sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util
xvdb              608,60    2,60 25967,20   102,40    85,31     5,37    
8,77   1,58  96,72
xvdg              0,00  608,60     0,00 26532,10    87,19     7,55   
12,41   0,12   7,44

Reading takes 97% I/O time, writing 7%. This is on the same raidset, but 
I see the same when copying between two different single disks also. Or 
is it just an effect of write caching that writes look faster than 
reads?
