Problem with archiving .zip files

Don't know if anyone is using the WinZip command line add-on, but I'll take a stab anyways. I'm using it to archive some files out of a directory, and I'm firing it with the following command:

"c:\program files\winzip\wzzip.exe" -ybc -ex -r -p d:\bk.zip d:\stuff

We have to use the new beta 1.1 version, because our archives do contain more than 65,535 files. All seems well, except when it comes to some (smaller) archives that already exist within the d:\stuff directory. Most of the content in the directory is webpages and graphics, but it does contain a few smaller .zip files. Sometimes, it will take up to 15 minutes to add a 15K .zip file to the archive. The CPU will also spike to 100%, and the machine is basically useless for that time.

Wondering if anyone has had any trouble with this, and if so, any solutions?

Try using pkunzip... used to work like a charm back in the good 'ol days.
