copy and tar performance?
Hi List;
Whenever I copy large files (>2G) or create large tar archives I basically
loose control of my box (2.1Gz Laptop running FC5) until the copy or tar is
complete. I can still try and work but the mouse movements are delayed
several seconds, other programs take minutes to respond, etc.
Is there a way I can overcome this so I can still work as normal during these
operations, maybe a way to limit the amount of cpu or system resources that a
cp or tar process can have? Other ideas?
Thanks in advance
