[PlanetCCRMA] SCSI disk too slow?

[mrgrimm at bluebottle.com]

did you remember to configure the hdparams?  i know on the ccrma  
website there are instructions on how to do this... it made a big  
difference for me.. also perhaps some backgrounds processes are  
running that you have not disabled yet?  just some ideas...
