[mythtv-users] Does MythTV performance scale?

[Mike Frisch]

I have MythTV running frontend and backend (mysql is running on my server)
on a Celeron 1.2GHz, ATI 7500 video, and 384MB RAM.

Everything works quite well in my setup, video playback is smooth, but the
menu system is dog slow.  If I throw (much) more CPU at this, am I going
to get snappy menus and good overall response?

Most bothersome is the delay when bringing up the EPG or after having
selected a channel to view.
