Did you try to renice it? renice +20 pidof grip Grip is just a wrapper around a bunch of other tools. You might try using cdparanoia (ripping tool) directly. There are some command-line options which may prove handy. I once had serious slowdowns with grip and certain CD's It was awhile ago, but I think, (although I'm not sure) that it was at least in part to scsi emulation on my cdrom drive. If you're using the ide-scsi kernel module, try disabling it while you rip those essential discs. That's usually enabled/disabled via an "append=" line in your lilo.conf more food for thought... -troy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
