For a little over a year now I've noticed a strange anomaly when running laplink or printing: other programs become less responsive when using the lpt device. A friend running FreeBSD has noticed the same problem. When transferring a large amount of data we've both noticed that X becomes jittery and sluggish and other applications are similarly less responsive. Similarly, I recently bought a laserjet and found that when spooling to the printer, other apps slow down. My question: what causes this to happen and how could it be fixed? Thanks!
