for recording Internet audio streams. Mplayer was using 100% of one CPU.

Very light weight, it dumps audio to a file that you can listen to immediately. You might have to compile from source, though. I didn't check to see if they had packages, since I usually compile from source.

Oh, and I regularly record 3 hour blocks of audio, Saturday is 6 hours for 'Stars End.'

Oh, if you want to keep using Audacity, there might be a switch to dump the audio to file. With Mplayer it was -dumpaudio -dumpfile, audacity might have something similar.
