The *recording* seems to be the problem, not the playback.  Playing back the 
previously recorded stuff seems to have the CPU ticking over at less than 5%. 
  Recording pretty much maxes the CPU.  Just clarifying.

Are the settings for recording in the settings table?  I haven't been able to 
find 'em.  If I can change those and then schedule a recording, I can try to 
debug this remotely.
