The process consuming 100% CPU is the "unace v" one, which has been called by file-roller (as seen with gnome-system-monitor)... When executing the same command on a console, it produces this output immediately, without any delay: $ unace v Pack.ace UNACE v2.5 Copyright by ACE Compression Software Nov 25 2007 22:30:02 processing archive /..uis/Desktop/Pack.ace created on 8.7.2007 with ver 2.0 by *UNREGISTERED VERSION* Contents of archive Pack.ace Date Time Packed Size Ratio File 20.06.07 01:43 3927880 4002780 98% /.. - file1.mp3 20.06.07 01:33 3038268 3070212 99% /.. file2.mp3 20.06.07 01:31 2291988 2321318 98% /..file3.mp3 20.06.07 01:53 1728152 1748620 98% /.. - file4.mp3 listed: 4 files, totaling 10.881K bytes (compressed 10.728K) This only happens with the 'unace-nonfree' package. With the 'unace' package, file-roller loads well (though it can't extract the file's contents, due to the package's restrictions).
