CPU not being utilized during extraction

Post by thebrain1 »

Running 0.7.11 on Ubuntu 12.10 2600K/4GB ram, I’m getting very slow unpacking. A 3GB file can take over 30 minutes. No other programs are being used, as far as I can tell.

I have article cache limit set to 70M and downloading paused during post processing.
Checking “top” during extraction shows sabnzbdplus at the top but only using 1-5% CPU, the same for unrar. These should be near 100%, no?

Not sure what’s going on, any help appreciated.

We have no control over the unrar tool.
Do you use the commercial (but free) unrar tool by RarLabs?
