It is strange... not well and not securely.
In Linux (test 2.6.35):
- run "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null" not change read speed from disk
- renice 20 for first three "dd if=/dev/wd0c of=/dev/null bs=1m" and
renice -5 for "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null" change throughput from 30Mb/s 
to 5Mb/s
- renice -20 for "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null" slows the system, but not 
freeze
