Subject:   lpt slows down other apps?

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!
David Kulp
