I ran into this last week, so I checked - on Windows, the System process
was running at 100%, that turned out to be the virus checker getting
bogged down trying to scan. Disabling AV made the whole thing fly along
like it did when it started. I think this has something to do with the
number of temporary files that commit generates, I understand they're
looking into this for a fix along with the memory leak problem. See my
email from last week.
