unless you want lots of coasters, don't use your computer while burning CDs. the process is very hardware intensive. otherwise, you'll need to upgrade to 350 v8 dual exhaust 4 barrel carb.

Subject: [TriLUG] cdrecord & cpu usage
When burning ISO images to cdrom, I find that I am totally unable to do
anything else during the burn process, including move the mouse or
change to alternate windows. I like to use Eclipt which is a good GUI
front end to cdrecord, and when I use the top command, it shows
cdrecord at over 40% cpu.
So, how do I (re)nice the cdrecord command to use less CPU, so that I am
at least able to read/write emails while at the same time, burning a
CDROM? I tried "nice --adjustment=10", but this did me no good. The
whole nice thing is a bit confusing. Any help/direction appreciated.
