I've been seeing this as well.  I did a search on the forum, and found
similar problems that seemed to be fixed by doing an error check on
the mythconverg database, and then re-commercial flagging the shows. 
After doing all that, my problem did not go away, so I'm very curious
to see what may fix this, as it has essentially broken the commercial
flagging.  BTW, I get variation now anywhere from 30 min to 1 1/2 hrs
for a 1 hr show.
