I had serious disk throughput issues that were IMHO caused by the file system driver (reiser) being too CPU-intensive. This also leads to buffer overruns, since the writer cant keep up with the incoming data. Things were better on kernel 2.4 and definitely improved on 2.6 after re-formatting the file system. (fragmentation) In light cases, playback is jerky while cutting, in severe cases, even two parallel recordings caused an CPU overload of my C3-600. Cheers, Udo
