I'm running a similar setup (xbox/xebian 1.1.4/svn/BE with pvr350) and 
getting good results although the poor thing swaps like crazy when I 
switch from one thing to another (menu -> TV or video). However once 
the swapper sorts things out it's great. One difference for me is that 
I record at 480x480 but I don't know if that's significant.

First question ought to be what process is hogging the cpu. What does 
top say?
