Another reason that peeling is still applicable to hard disk players is
battery life. If you need to read less from the hard disk then you can
save battery life. I recall reading of an experiment with one of the
earlier rios where they doubled the caching ram, and extended the
battery life by around 40%. Peeling the file so that you have to read
less can give a similar effect, it might mean that you have to hit the
hard disk every 70 seconds instead of every 60. There are people out
there that would appreciate that :-)

Cheers,
Paul
