Well, I dont know the configuration and purpose of your server. But you
ahould at least try to run an archiver with low priority settings
("background" mode in WinRAR). You still get a 100% full load, but the
compression won't slow your system if you are running other processes at
normal priority.
And, even if you managed to use just 50% of your CPU to compress, sometimes
the higher demanding services would stall because they would require far
much CPU than just 50% (and they will be stalled everytime, for sure).
