It sounds a bit like these problems have crept up on you just recently, so
my first guess is that disk fragmentation is to blame. Try using norton's
speeddisk or similar to defrag all your harddisks. Run Diskdoctor while
you're at it to make sure all the disk catalogues etc are in ship shape.

Secondly, try to spread the load over many disks (i.e. have the streamed
samples, the audio, and the freeze files on up to 3 different disks for very
heavy projects). You could also set the freeze files to a lower bit depth
(not sure where this is done).

Thirdly, you can try tweaking the buffer values in the audio driver section
of the Preferences. I am mentioning this last, because it will have adverse
effects on latency. However it might be worth fiddling with to get that
extra bit performance out for a very heavy session.

Hope this helps,
Brio
