its a problem of atapi drives mostly, if you have DMA turned on that can reduce cpu utilization some .. in the past it was not uncommon for an IDE drive to suck up 100% of the CPU when accessing w/o DMA.. just tested cdparanoia on my system (all SCSI) rippin a cd from my 4x8x cdr takes between 3.5%-5.9% cpu(p3-800EB). nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
