Heh, this sounds exactly like my P3-550 MHz combined FE/BE system.
Solution:  I run mfdb at night, only start the job queue after 11:00 pm when
I know I'll be in bed, and if I notice I spend more time transcoding shows
(13 fps at medium quality settings) than watching television, it's time to
stop watching television and do something productive :D
