The latest changes to the lastest build of "par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20080116" solved the problem partially.
When repairing a large set with large par2 files it still tries to access multiple files at the same time (you can see the percentages alternate before the main thread wins) when verifying the large par2 files.
It did stop par2 from acessing the source files with multiple threads.
In short the progess of a repair:
- Verifying the par2 files => still multiple threads trying to read the file (hd thrashing = slowdown).
- Verifying the source files => one thread reads each files (much faster, speeds are like they should be).
I don't know how the situation is for creating par2 files since I use QuickPar for that.

Also I have one feature request:
Would it be possible to change the "created with" field so that it contains "TBB and the build date" in addition to the standard par2cmdline version info. To indicate that the par2 files where created with your modified TBB build. This could be practical in case there where some kind of problem with creating par2 files.
