ok, for kicks I downgraded to Sarge, installed xorg from backports, gcc-4.0 
from Sid (so I could compile the nvidia drivers for my kernel), built Myth 
and am still getting stutter with HD.
So now I don't know what more to do to emulate what, if any, possible 
differences there were before I installed the 84xx build that began the 
stutter issue.

Anyone have any other ideas for me before I go ahead and format and start from 
scratch?
