]In this version, the ringbuffer size is 96MB, which is probably a overkill.
]However, in severe situations I have seen it all used.

I think this may be highly dependent on the number of cards and the hard 
drive characteristics. Any chance you could detect buffer overruns and 
use that as a signal to grow the buffer? Also what about locking these 
pages in memory so that they don't get swapped out to disk?
