| Hi I'm using 4.2-RELEASE, with a parallel port ZIP drive (100M).
| Whenever I copy a large file from the zip drive (for example /dev/da0s1),
| the "cp" process eats 98% of the system resources. What's behind all this?
| Is there a way to fix it?

| A 'renice' won't help.


That's natural with "parallel".  No way around it.
