Try it directly in recording.c. At least for me it was considerably
faster.

Put more memory into the system. With only 128 MB in my system it
sometimes was very slow. Now with 256 MB it is considerably faster.
Maybe it has todo something with the available buffers. If the buffers
containing the directory data are pushed out because you do a concurrent
recording then it may take some time until the blocks are read again.
