nDVR Playback Stutters

I am testing out the nDVR function and have gotten everything running. I am using JW Player to play the stream and my window duration is set to 6 hours. The stream plays back smoothly when starting from scratch, as in I have nothing recorded yet. However, as the stream records and I get up past an hour recorded, the stream starts to stutter every few seconds. When I get to the 6 hour limit, the playback is almost unwatchable. Is there some setting I am missing? Here is the URL to a test page.

With WindowDuration that high you should use the nDVR Playlist delegate to limit per client. Otherwise the dvr manifest is too long and causes client-side problems.
