BTV hard-disk trashing causing frame skips?

I've been testing BTV and a couple of other apps for a couple of weeks now. One thing I have noted is BTV's constant hard-disk usage. I sometimes notice frame skips during particular heavy hard-disk activity. None of the other apps behave in this way (that is, no hd trashing or frame skips).

What's going on? Even if I exit window/full-screen mode and BTV is idle there's a couple of BTV processes trashing the hard-disk (no recording going on)! In my otherwise silent HTPC I find this extremely annoying! Is there any way to stop these processes?

Apart from this I'm happy with BTV and I'm close to buying it (still on trial).

My setup:

P4 2.6GHz
512 Mb RAM
PVR-250
GeForce FX 5200
