Yeah, BOINC is setup as nice, but its not THAT nice (it still has to get SOME 
CPU cycles, and when it does, it gobbles them right up), when I'm watching 
live TV, I DO still notice that it is a little jumpy if I don't disable 
BOINC.  But this is because MythTV is taking 80-90% of my CPU (unfortunately 
my XV support doesn't work, so I have to use standard X11 rendering, which is 
much slower).

I've asked for XV support to be fixed, since my XV support works just fine 
under both mplayer and xawtv, in fact, MythTV is the ONLY application where I 
have XV problems (something about it failing to initialize the colour map, I 
can post the error again if anyone wants to look into it).

But yes, I do notice a difference between BOINC enabled and not.
