I thought it might be more effective that way to seperate the reading and writing process to 2 different drives, as its faster to copy stuff from one HD to another than just to different folders on the same drive or also to mux with mkvmerge to another drive than the one you are reading from. so eac3to doesnt behave in the same way?

I don't know, you can test it for yourself. I think performance will be better with eac3to, too, but it might still slow the OS down. Try reading+writing from/to the non-OS harddisk. That might take a longer time, but I think the OS should be more responsive that way.

You can also try the "-lowPriority" switch. That might also help OS responsiveness (on the cost of longer processing time). This switch should especially well on Vista and Windows 7. It should also help on XP and older OSs, but not as much as with Vista.

See first post of this thread.

Eac3to already takes long enough to convert audio of decent length without doing two passes, and I don't always care about some minor clipping artefacts.

I'd suggest to use e.g. "-3db" instead. That will lower volume a bit, which usually gets rid of clipping. As a result a 2nd pass will in most cases not be necessary, anymore. So this basically does what you are asking for, and has the additional bonus of getting rid of clipping. Of course it comes at the cost of generally lowered volume, whenever you use this switch...

Here are some possible reports posted by eac3to:

[s07] Counted 23 forced subtitles.
[s08] Counted 167 subtitles.
[s09] Counted 158 normal and 5 forced subtitles.

This information is only posted after full processing has run through! It is not possible for eac3to to report this without reading the complete source files. So don't expect this information in the track listing...
