from half an hour to an hour for each CD (two phases, double time). It is very CPU intensive, dunno why.
Because the bzip2 de/re-compression eats up lots of cpu cycles...
Ah! That explains it. I knew that it handles a lot of data, but it didn't somehow seem reasonable the time it used. Couldn't it use some other faster compress method? Less compression, perhaps? I didn't see an option in the man page for that. Failing that, I could try recompiling the bzip binary optimizing for pentium 4 instead of the default :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEVmW8tTMYHG2NR9URAtMFAJ9Hmc3ttXHdfsnyUZSaynnDmQKkfACfWS7a l7buViWyYOMFCFXn1vzsTRM= =64RI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
