If the entire problem is the scheduler (and I'm not convinced that it
is, but I haven't been following this thread closely), then one easy
workaround might be for the OP to deliberately download -only- the
next day's lineup.

After all, if he's recording -everything-, he's not making any
decisions based on conflicts or rescheduling-for-later, and so it
doesn't do him any good at all to have any scheduling data that goes
past what's currently recording (plus maybe the next "slot"); having
1-2 days of data and not 14 might therefore lead to a very large
reduction in scheduling time.  (Clearly, he wants at least the lineup
for what's currently being recorded so it can be properly labelled in
the listing of recorded programs.)

It'd be easy enough to test this:  truncate the program table and then
tell whatever's grabbing the data to only grab today and tomorrow, and
see if the performance problem improves.  (And if it -doesn't- improve,
then all the discussion so far may well be misguided.)
