Bug#455094: ark: extracts at half the speed of equivalent command-line tool
Package: ark
Version: 4:3.5.7-3
Severity: normal
Using kde desktop' "extract" contextual menu to decompress tbz2 files take roughly twice as long as the equivalent tar xjf command. Top reports three
related running processes: ark, using roughly 50% CPU; bunzip2 also around 50% and tar around 2%.
Noticed on a P3-850.
I know that the GUI animation comes with a cost, but 50% CPU seems abusive.
