Why can't you move it, then spawn a background thread to remove it at minimum priority? IIUC, Vista and later support I/O prioritization, and the lowest priority will throttle down to two I/O's a second if other I/O is happening. Or are build slaves already I/O-saturated? _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
