This bug is more serious than previously though. I tried "extracting" from a scratched CD on my dual core Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2.33 GHz. The "extraction" appeared to be frozen for twenty minutes, and the entire time, my load average hovered around 4.58!!! I couldn't even double click an icon on my Desktop to launch Gedit without having to wait OVER A MINUTE for it to appear.
I recommend escalating the "Low" priority of this bug immediately.
