Ok thanks for the dirrection. Ask and thy shall receive. well a quick hack
at least to implement cache of rcorder, although from my tests even on old
hardware rcorder is quick. I wrote this in (cring) the long-spelled out
way. Anyways... don't forget to add the essential rc.conf knobs for the
two variables shown bellow.
