I have two pvr350 at 720*576 with a p3-933 and can watch both
simultaneously with picture-in-pircture with no problems.

Did you enable commercial-detection or are you running filters for
deinterlacing or something?

why kde? wouldn't something smaller be enough? like some
{open,flux,black}box, or evilwm or something?
