Just a comment on the memory:

I have a combined BE/FE, displaying HD content at 720p, dual-core CPU,
configured for up to two simultaneous commflag/transcode jobs.  I have 2 GB
RAM and according to top, the swap space is pretty much untouched.  I tried
reducing to 1 GB, but then the swap usage grew to about 0.5 GB (leading to
annoying menu delays reminiscent of the the DirecTiVo being replaced) so I
went back to 2 GB.  So, aside from the memory leak problems I've seen
reported on this list, I wonder if anyone has seen a need for more than 2 GB
RAM.
