Excessive I/O causes system to become unresponsive until completed #237

I'm using version 2.3 under Snow Leopard. When decompressing large rar
archives, the entire system becomes unresponsive due to the excessive I/O.
Would it be possible to deprioritize the process? Under OS X, nice'ing a
process also affects the I/O, so I now just run `nice -n 15 unrar ...` from
the terminal to avoid this issue.

Maybe. On what kind of system are you having that problem? I haven't noticed 
much of that personally.
