Hi John,

Actually HDHomeRun has more socket buffering than a linux machine with a 
normal kernel build :-)

Early in development there was an issue in the backend device code which 
meant it used a lot of CPU and could glitch.

This has been fixed and my 2GHz Sempron uses about 3% CPU for the 
backend while recording from HDHomeRun.
