For what's worth,  in my Mythbuntu gnome desktop 
System->Preferences->Screensaver (which you can also access from the 
command line with  gnome-screensaver-preferences)    I   DO NOT have a 
check by "Activate Screensaver when CPU Idle".    When I do a ps -A | 
grep gnome   I DO see a process ID associated with the 
gnome-screen-sav.    But since installing Josh's replacement  
libmythavformat file, I haven't experienced any   IR Remote Button 
Presses delays.   So here at least, it seems sufficient just to NOT HAVE 
a check by "Activate Screensaver when CPU Idle".   I never see the 
screensaver activate so I assume that my entry in the gui has prevented 
the screen saver from activating/running.

So I've made all the corrections suggested by Josh.

1.  Screensaver is configured not to activate

2.  Option "UseEvents" "True"' in the "Device"  section  of 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

3.  Replaced  libmythavformat  with Josh's new and improved file.

So far,  I haven't had any "IR Remote Button Press Delays".   This is 
with myth version  18722.
