Hmm, if bzip2 can't saturate the CPU, I would say it's probably waiting
for disk reads/writes.
The drives I was trying to compress from/to are both brand new 200GB
Maxtor 7200RPM ATA133 drives. Maybe that has something to do with the
bad controller on this series of boards.
Are both of these drives on the same channel? If so, remember that ATA
cannot read/write to two drives on the same channel at the same time.
Nope, my board does not allow them to be on the same channel or I get
UDMA ICRC READ and WRITE errors (had a thread going about that here as
well).
All drives are on their own channel.
