[mythtv-users] Latest SVN pegs my CPU for 720p and 1080i

I just get a little audio stuttering on my 3.2 prescott, but skipping forward
and back seems to fix it.  Latest alsa-1.0.9b stuff.  Seems like some kinda
buffer issue but I haven't found a way to fix it yet.

The only other wierdness I see is when both pcHDTV HD-3000's are recording at
the same time and I'm watching something, after about 20 minutes of recording,
my CPU pegs at 80% or so, even when I shutdown viewing, it won't clear.  Th
cx88atsc driver reports a buffer overflow at the same time the CPU pegging
starts.  This doesn't happen if I'm watching through a remote frontend, only
if I'm watching on the master doing the recording.
