2500 frame insertions per hour is not normal. I normally record at -q 40
-d 1 with 10 or so insertions/deletions per hour, but I haven't done much
recording from the composite in (-i n). -q 80 -d 1 also works fine for me
except that I dont think the increased disk space usage is worth the extra
quality. Are you recording from VHS?  May be something to do with your VHS
signal/tape quality? Have you tried recording from the tuner?

What harddrives do you have? -- if IDE, check you have DMA enabled. Also, 
try  measuring the drive performance by, say, hdparm -t. I have come 
across disk related bottlenecks in the past.
