Help!  This is seriously lowering the WAF!

At the begining of every recording there is a few seconds of heavy hard
drive activity.  What's the big deal you may ask?  Well, this activity
results in the recording either freezing at that point or skipping a few
seconds when playing back.

It seems to always happen about one minute into the recording.

This didn't happen in 0.15, only started in 0.16.  I don't want to roll
back because 0.16 doesn't give the occaisional green tinted recording
like 0.15 did and is also better at changing channels when watching live
TV.

About my system:
Gentoo
Kernel 2.6.7
bttv video capture card
Recordings directory is mounted via NFS

Would upgrading to 2.6.9 kernel help?
