This is because the OS using RAM to cache the disk access during the
"realtime flagging" process. I've run 6 at a time, and the only
physical disk access is the 6 streams worth of writes.

Force your flagging jobs to wait until the recording is done, then
watch your disk THRASH while the flagger tries at full CPU speed to
flag the 3 files.. :)
