Are you talking about just a regular old copy or a copy in the sense of a time
machine backup?  Are these behaviors different on APFS?

The ADC video Quincey referred to a couple of weeks ago talked about references
to files being created (lazy copies).  Only when the blocks associated with the
newest reference are altered would any actual copying of actual data be done.

Is this the behavior your referring to?
