I never thought my issues were latency-related but that's what was  
suggested to me. I have a feeling it was my ivtv driver and perhaps  
upgrading from 0.7.0 to 0.7.1 fixed it although I could have been  
pegging my processor and upgrading to a 4400+ from the 3200+ fixed it  
but I think the ivtv driver upgrade is more likely the fix. I would  
give that a try and see how it goes.

Also, try running hdparm and check your drive access times. I don't  
think this was my issue either since I was running on a 300GB SATA-II  
drive with (theoretic) 3GB/sec, but it was also suggested to me that  
it could be the problem.
