Then you're **** outa luck. The only other option would be to extract onto a different harddrive, so it's not reading\writing back and forth (and thusly hurting speeds by a minimum of 50%).

Using a faster program will only help if your physical harddrives can keep up.

installing win 7x64 & using the slightly speedier 64bit winrar is about the only other possible way i can think of

Your CPU usage doesn't spike because those files were made with Compression set to Store (they're not compressed). Why? Because they'd gain very little from using a more 'efficient' setting - the content inside doesn't compress well. Most scene RARs are like this.


There is no decompression going on. The bottleneck is your hard drive.

Pretty much extract it on a dedicated hard drive. Should go a tad faster.

Ideas? The only thing you can do is extract to another harddrive so one can be entirely dedicated to reading, and the other can be dedicated to writing said data.
