Okay, I tried...
Downloaded headers for about 257k articles in the group (using 
Newshosting) and tried to download several parts of the "A Woman Under 
Influence" post. Couldn't see any extra noticeable HDD activity, the 
files were assembled "on the fly" (*.01, *.01-02, *.01-03, etc.) and no 
noticeable HDD thrashing appeared after finishing the entire 395 MB.
Only after watching the BNR3.exe's process disk activity using Process 
Explorer from Sysinternals I could see that after downloading the entire 
395 MB there is a "READ+OTHER" (that's what they call it) peak for a few 
seconds. Don't know what exactly is BNR doing in that moment, though...

I'm running BNR3 on a Samsung 750 GB drive in external Cooldrive Quad 
Interface box connected via Firewire 800.
