Yesterday I had to compress a big tar archive (350MB) with Bzip2. I launched it from a console inside KDE, then in a second console I launched "top", that told me KDE was using 46% (at least) of the processor's power, and bzip2 45-50%. I thought it was strange, since KDE was doing NOTHING!! that console was the only app running! Could you explain this? One (among many) reasons to switch to Linux is the better use of the power, so what is this? Another (silly) question: I didn't remember how to compress the archive with tar then bzip using a single command line, in order to have only the final .tar.bz2 file in the HD without passing from the .tar file. Could you write it?
