Not that I am aware of. Keep in mind that a *lot* of work is being done.

You could "nice" it. "man nice". Since there is likely to be a lot of
I/O happening, it may not help much.

If the drives are on the same channel, or other devices on the channel
are also flooding the channel, that would be expected. Does "swapon -s"
show a lot of swap being used? Does top give a clue? I suspect a lot of
CPU may also be involved.
