I'm kinda paranoid about hard disk drives in general; one of the reasons I do this is so I can keep as many copies of my library on different drives (an DVD-Rs) as possible.

I don't see how the "added processing time" actually changes the use case.
I like the copying, since it means that none of my project folders/sessions have any link dependcies that go into my library drive- every project has its own copy of the media it needs.
