Track switch lag?

[archagon]

Whenever I hit next or prev (on shuffle, if it matters) during the first ~10 seconds of a track on my Rockbox'd iAudio X5, 1-2 seconds of the track continue playing before the switch occurs. This is very frustrating, as I tend to switch tracks often. Is there any way to fix this?

Just a guess (I'm not expert on these, still learning), but it could have something to do with the HDD being spun down... I believe it queues up a bunch to RAM and then cycles down.

I read a bit of it on the wiki today looking at the HDD cycle timers, possibly increasing the spin-down delay could help?  It would use more power though, so that's a tradeoff.
