I don't play files like that, so I've not seen this myself.

Why are you splitting the files at all?  Both XFS and JFS have good
response time with huge files.  I routinely deal with 8x 95 Gb backup
files on an XFS partition.

Try not splitting them and see how you go.  Otherwise make sure that dma
is on for your hard drives - use    hdparm -i /dev/hda    as root to
check.

Doubt thats the problem.  The machine should step up the instant more CPU
is required.
