It's slow because the PS4 is verifying data integrity to prevent corrupted files. Think of it as your PS4 being extra careful, so you don't end up with a game that crashes.
The copying process is dragging because the PS4 is making sure everything is perfect. It's like proofreading a paper three times before submission!
Honestly, the copying is slow because your PS4 is performing a full integrity check. It's just trying to avoid giving you any buggy updates. Patience, young grasshopper.
