I submitted a poll a few weeks ago and got back some good responses,
but I'm still looking for data that would answer the question:  "How
fast a CPU do I need for multiple encodes?"

I believe the only data point we have now is Isaac's statement that
his AMD XP1800+ can almost do two encodes + 1 decode.

If anyone has multiple tuners in their system, please let me know
what sort of CPU you've got, and what encoder/resolution you're
using, along with what your load average is during recording.  I know
that multiple encodes isn't only dependant on CPU; hard drive speed
would be an issue as well, so whatever data you can provide would be
appreciated.

Thanks, Bob
