I've tried all the different fixes to prevent the guide from 
stuttering.  There are
improvements to some aspects for different settings.  For instance, removing
the icons from the DB table fixed the super slow guide, but it still 
suffers from
random 3-10 second hangs in between key presses (not consistent, and irw
shows the keys received)

I have three different physical disks in this system and have tried the 
DB on
all of them.  I'm pretty certain that isn't the problem.  This is a 
pretty beefy
system: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ running
2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64 with 6Gb of ram.

Interesting enough, I've tweaked HD so that 1080p mkv files play back with
less than .25.  This is with the coreavc stuff, but still, SD 
live/recorded TV
shouldn't be killing this system as much as it is with loads over 2.
