Is TCP Slow Start algorithm a reason for slow transfers of many single files?

I thought about the tcp slowstart algorithm and a common problem when transfering many files over a tcp/ip network. If you transfer many small files (i.e. size: 50kb, amount: 10,000) it will take much longer than if you transfer the same amout of…
