In any case, this is a different situation to normal deletes.

No, I'm talking about normal deletes.  When I reach the end of a 
recording while watching it, I select the delete option.  This moves the 
recording to the deleted recordings group, where it subsequently gets 
scheduled for actual deletion 24 hours later.  I would like to know if 
that 24 hours is a hard timeout or if MythTV will delay it if the system 
is otherwise busy at that time.  For example, I have my MythTV system 
(combined frontend, backend) configured to not perform comm flagging 
during prime time hours.  Does MythTV do something similarly with 
recording deletion automatically based on scheduled activity?
