He said the load was low... if there was I/O contention that would
have shown.  SCSI should have a negligible affect on a single icecast
stream that is doing no re-encoding.  There's something else going on,
but I couldn't tell you what, I've only run icecast on overpowered
machines because I'm doing on-the-fly reencoding.
