I'm afraid it's normal with 2.4 kernels.  When there is much disk
activity (especially large streaming writes), the rest of the system is
often starved (sound skips, mouse freezes for a second or two, etc.).

Perhaps a kernel patch or two would help (low latency, preempt,
alternative disk schedulers).

Some performers on television appear to be horrible people, but when
you finally get to know them in person, they turn out to be even worse.
