While SCPing a new IOS release to our 7609-S (RSP720C) yestseday morning I
was getting alerts about high CPU and SNMP was occasionally timing out, but
last night when I copied files over from disk0 to other locations
(supbootdisk, etc) I got some of these log entries:

Is there any way to "nice" the copy process so it doesn't impact the system
so much?
