rar extractor with queue

RAR - ugghh!

I don't have any answer for you, unfortunately, and I also don't think there exists a solution that'll do what you want.

For me, RAR is a CPU-crippler. It's gotta be the worst decompressor ever thought up. It totally hogs my processor to the point where everything, EVERYTHING comes to a standstill when it starts to UNRAR a file. I can't do ANYTHING when it starts...everything freezes and all I can do is just wait.

In addition, it's also slow as heck. At least on a Mac. Maybe I just don't have the horsepower to UNRAR a frigging file, but if not, that's ridiculous. I have 1GB RAM and a 1.5 GHz CPU.

On a 1GB file, it literally took almost 30 minutes to UNRAR. That was sheer torture. When I made note of this to someone with a PC, he said it took him 45 SECONDS to UNRAR the same file on his PC. I didn't ask what his machine specs were, but whatever they were, the disparity is unbelievable and unacceptable.

 

I switched from unrarx to The Unarchiver, which is much more capable. It's free to use, so I'd recommend downloading and giving it a try

i have only used unrar X, and i notice no slow-up what so ever. I am assuming probably has to do with your specs.. I have a 2.5GHZ machine, and no problemos..
