[mythtv-users] X CLE266 and CPU Utilization

So I've got most everything working fine now, with just a few
anoyances I can live with for now.

What I'd like to focus on now is the current performance of my PVR. 
Currently I'm seeing CPU utilization of X at about 30% and an overall
load average of about 2.  While watching TV through the mythfrontend I
also get some choppy audio also this is pretty rare (I'm attributing
this to the high utilization).

Are these utilization rates to be expected?

Here's my configs:
PVR250
VIA EPIA MII10000
Fedora Core 3

Here's my X config

        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "DRI"
        Group        0
        Mode         0666
EndSection

If this is to be expected, then I guess I'll start working on the
other little anoyances.
