Short pause between choosing a song and ...

Hi there,

I recently swapped out my old hard drives in favour of four 10,000 rpm VelociRaptor drives in RAID0, to help with HD video editing and rendering.

Before I did so, I made a complete system backup using Carbon Copy Cloner, and also a Time Machine backup.

Needless to say, the Carbon Copy Cloner backup was somehow corrupted, so I had to resort to do a full system restore using Time Machine.

The system's back up, and has been fine so far except for a few preference file crashes related to Final Cut Pro.

However, one little annoyance I have is, there is about a full second or two of lag between me double-clicking a song to play in iTunes, and it actually playing it.

I didn't have this problem before, and you would have thought that with 4 x 10,000 rpm, latency would be a thing of the past.

When creating the RAID0, I had left the block size at default (32K). Not sure if that would make a difference, but I thought I'd keep it the same value as I had when I backed up my system.

Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Cheers,
