Without -backgroundMP3 enabled, it seems that SD must load the next MP3s into memory from the HD after the current track has ended.

So, it seems that enabling -backgroundMP3 would cause SD to load next MP3 while the current track was playing.

Is this correct?
When does SD load MP3s without -backgroundMP3 enabled?
How many MP3s does SD load? Does it fill available memory? The entire playlist?
When exactly does -background MP3 cause SD to load the next MP3?
What is the advantage of enabling it?
When should it be disabled?

I ask because I have my media stored on a seperate 2.5 HD, connected via USB 1.1 (yes, I know, it's slow)...and whenever I select a playlist containing 10+ songs, SD becomes non-responsive, and there is a delay before it will accept input again. Is this because SD is attempting to load 10+ songs before starting to play the first?
