just did!
-7 recordings going on(yay March Madness and the buildup there-to)
-2 frontends playing back content (one watching a current recording at
"real time")
-2 mythcommflag operations

%wa never went above 10%, mostly around 3%, and no noticeable issue
with playback, including skipping around in the timeline. The guide
did take a second or two longer to load up than normal though...

a success I'd say.

thanks for the info and help!
