I am also experiencing the exact same behavior. I am running on a lower
powered machine with a PIII 1 GHz and 384 MB of RAM. I have always just
attributed it to my machine being underpowered, but maybe something else is
going on. When I am watching a recording and mythtv-status runs it causes
the show to be choppy for 20 or 30 seconds until mythtv-status is done. I
haven't been able to check what was going on when the remote was slow to
respond, but I assumed it was mythtv-status or something similar running in
the background that was causing my remote to be delayed.
