Go up one level in this thread


Time the decompression utility is printing is CPU time spent in decompression
code. It does not include disk I/O time - and you are having a lot of I/O.

BTW, I think you are doing the error using decompressed TBs. For your disk
(based on the price I think it's IDE/ATAPI, 5400? rpm - not 10krpm SCSI LVD)
compressed ones should be faster, if you have reasonable CPU,
