Good point, I've only tried it with ntfs to ext3.  Perhaps that
requires a lot more resources from Ubuntu?

I have compared doing this same task in Ubuntu vs Xubuntu and Xubuntu
seems to allow the rest of the system to run normally.  I guess that's
to be expected.  Perhaps I could just live in Xunbuntu.
