Hi I'm using 4.2-RELEASE, with a parallel port ZIP drive (100M).
Whenever I copy a large file from the zip drive (for example /dev/da0s1),
the "cp" process eats 98% of the system resources. What's behind all this?
Is there a way to fix it?

  711 root      54   0   280K   168K RUN      0:45 93.87% 93.21% cp

A 'renice' won't help.

Thanks in advance,
