I finally got this setup working!

By raising the process priority of mythfrontend via nice I was able to
nearly eliminate the prebuffering pause -- even at 720x480 encoding.
CPU was running at 30%

The prebuffering pauses only occurred occasionally when switching
channels or before/after a pause.

Has anyone figured out what process priorites work best for mythfronend
and backend.  Debians default priority for X is -11.
