loud live sound (specifically, high bass volume), make sure it is placed so
that the disk is not subjected to noticeable vibration. The vibrations will
physically displace the read-write heads of disk, and the resulting errors
will force a retry of the reading from the disk. Retrying over and over
massively reduces the rate at which data can be read from the disk. Avoid
