You might be at the wrong level at solving the problem, in that
coding up a data structure or media technology FS could be at
a better perspective to optimize disk IO bandwidth.
There's a bunch of papers on multi media file systems, that might
be of help to you. What you're doing is kind of hackish from initial

By the way, BeOS streaming movies is ridiculously impressive.
