This has been discussed a great deal lately on GEnie. The reason apparently
is that in the foreground, RR spends a great deal of time checking for
events (like DA activation) and even more time in quickdraw for the fancy
indicator. I'm certain that there will be an option in the next version of
RR for a very fast, no frills type download. In the meantime, for large
downloads, you can put RR in the background if you have multifinder, or use
RR with something like the BackDown DA if you don't.
