It seems like with every update that is issued, the slower and more CPU/Memory intensive the extraction process becomes. I hate having to use multiple decompression programs but may be forced to using the "Win Twins" (WinZip & WinRar) if PA doesn't start functioning better.
PA use's speed optimized version of unrar.dll, so it is as fast as possible. It is faster to extract than WinZip and WinRar so if you use them, it will only be slower.
