VLC Lags/Spikes when running Transmission.

When I have Transmission running and downloading torrents, VLC will have a lot of lags and spikes during a movie. As soon as I turn off Transmission (torrent dling program) the lags and mini movie spikes stop.

Does anyone else have this problem?

What is the CPU load? Is it high and does it spike at the same time?

A lot of disc and CPU activity, will inevitably interfere with VLC playback, and the more intense your movie is that you are watching, the more noticeable it will be. Try using a non-JAVA bittorrent application. Those will be a tad more light on resources.
