I think you're seeing the RAM-impaired Xbox swap out stuff to swap in the
playback and buffering code.

Let's say it's swapping out around 20MB worth of data.  Most CF cards are
upwards of 3-4MB/sec so the swap would last about 5 seconds.

You might also look to remove as many running programs as possible to reduce
your swap load.

Personally, I found the xbox just a bit too slow as a client.

Cheers,
Richard.
