[mythtv] performance

[Chuck Ferring]

Video card is a Gforce2 and sound card is a SBLive.

Also, I tested with more memory by borrowing 256Mb from another machine
(bringing me up to 512) and things improved quite a bit.

Chuck,
    I was thinking last night and I'm curious as to what video and sound

card you are using.
