I'd suspect either (a) slow PIO performance or (b) not enough RAM. I've
never suffered underruns with 32 MB and a busmastering SCSI ISA controller
on a 486/DX4 (but I haven't done piping, since I have the space for
images). Anyway, 4x is only about 1.2MB/s, which any DMA-capable
controller on any bus should be able to handle.
