Comment 1 for bug 587173

Hi robotjox,

post-processing also slows down my machine, but I didn't look into it deeply so far. Another user has asked the same question at ubuntuforums.org. It was suggested to lower the priority of the 'unrar' process using 'nice'. However, it was also suggested that the system becomes unresponsive because it spends most time moving data into and out of the main memory. You might want to take a look at the proposed solutions. I'm highly interested in your findings.

In SABnzbd, which the upcoming version of LottaNZB will be based on, it's possible to set the 'nice' parameters directly in the configuration interface.

Regards,
Severin
