Any ideas how to locate what is causing gzip to run when I don't want

as long to create the archive.
Yes. To locate the gzip process, try using "ps afx" or simalar. The
key thing is the "f" switch, which shows the "family" relationships
between processes. You'll be able to see what process is calling
gzip.
For slowing it down, the "nice" command will probably help. I'd
recommend checking out the manpage for nice.
