Not all disk caps are the same - it depends on the dielectric. NP0 types
are pretty good but the high K formulations, Z5U and Y5U are not so good.

I've written about capacitance versus voltage and harmonic distortion in
various dielectrics at
http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/capacitor_voltage_change.htm

Will revisit this in the future with some RF data.
