What would be even stupider would be to assume there are
open source drivers for TiVo's proprietary hardware.

I will speculate with great confidence that any Intel or AMD
CPU with a clock rate over 1GHz will out perform that CPU on
any realistic benchmark. I read "50 MHz PPC" as an
identification of the chip with no reference to a definition
of performance other than it "would suck" which is the correct
assessment.
