I haven't followed this thread much.  I am running mythbuntu 14.04 (3.13 
kernel) with 0.28.  My system started out life as mythbuntu 8.10 with 
0.21.  Back then, I followed the (then) recommendations of using a 
separate disk drive (spindle) for the recordings and OS/database.  Is 
your system configured that way?  I also used the XFS file system for 
the recording drive.  Which FS are you using. EXT4 may take a bit more 
for journal updates (I am out of my depth here).  I also configured the 
backend to not do any comm flagging or transcoding jobs during my 
primetime recording hours (7:00PM -> 3:00AM).  I also have slow deletes 
turned on (might be the default).  I can reliably record 4 to 5 shows 
(OTA) at the same time while watching another, using three HDHR tuners 
on a separate dedicated gigabit NIC.
