With which GPU is that?  If your drop off for 1080i is comparable to
mine with my 9500, that wouldn't leave you much room to do anything
more than 1.0x.  I don't know that there's much optimization Myth can
do.  I would expect the timestretch speed to be almost entirely
dependent on the speed of the GPU, but I'll defer to Mark Kendall who
appears to be the MythTV expert on VDPAU.

Could someone with an integrated 9300 or 9400 please see what maximum
timestretch speed they can reach.  I can't imagine either would beat
an add-in 9500, though.
