My experience is comparable with corecode's experience. Even moderate IO 
load makes my audio stutter, my prompts apps hang for some seconds time 
to time etc. It's HAMMER + AHCI. It's not a conncurrent IO issue we 
obviously have (due to lack of IO scheduler). Surprisingly my UFS + NATA 
machine performs much better in this regard.

Not to mention http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issue1502 which became 
showstopper for DragonFly + HAMMER deploying for me.
