[TriLUG] cdrecord & cpu usage

[Jim Ray]

unless you want lots of coasters, don't use your computer while burning CDs.  the process is very hardware intensive.  otherwise, you'll need to upgrade to 350 v8 dual exhaust 4 barrel carb.

	When burning ISO images to cdrom, I find that I am totally unable to do 
	anything else during the burn process, including move the mouse or 
	change to alternate windows. I like to use Eclipt which is a good GUI 
	front end to cdrecord, and when I use the top command, it shows 
	cdrecord at over 40% cpu. 

	So, how do I (re)nice the cdrecord command to use less CPU, so that I am 
	at least able to read/write emails while at the same time, burning a 
	CDROM? I tried "nice --adjustment=10", but this did me no good. The 
	whole nice thing is a bit confusing. Any help/direction appreciated.
