No, it's not craziness. You need to read this:

I had these problems as well. There's a long
thread a few months back
where it was confirmed that I tried *everything*. Eventually I gave up
and bought an IDE drive. Hey presto, problems gone. Now the only xruns
happen when there's scsi disk activity, according to vmstat.
This is craziness, and turns things completely on their head. IDE, even
with bus mastering, requires more I/O and IRQ turnarounds to complete a
given transaction to a drive.
I've heard of PCI bus greedy graphics cards (in the pre-AGP era), but
bus-greedy SCSI controllers take the cake.
