Well, given the quality of my parts, I'm sure it adds *some* overhead  
(I did this project on the cheap). I'm guessing a part of the delay  
is definitely my XBox switching stuff in and out of swap space. Myth  
isn't the most memory-friendly application, and 64 MB of RAM isn't  
the best situation.
