I second that!

I did a quick test on the SVN version about two weeks ago, and found that my disk subsystem was thrashing a lot more frequently than with 0.18. I presumed this was due to the LiveTV changes that occurred. Of course, this might just be my second Linux install on the box :)
I'd rather see the thrashing "fixed"...

I have a fx5200 and OSD XvMC is smooth as silk.
