I may have found something that helps. echo file_readahead:2097151 > /proc/ide/hda/settings this appears change the udrive behaviour while playing mp3s from constant short activity to one large read at the beginning it also appears that echo 67 > /proc/sys/vm/bdflush will wait until 67% of the buffers are dirty before writing them out. this would seem to be a good idea ...
