mythtv-setup:

Start Auto-Commercial Flagging jobs when the recording starts
If set and Auto Commercial Flagging is ON for a recording, the flagging 
job will be started as soon as the recording starts.  NOT recommended on 
underpowered systems.

(or in trunk:

Start auto-commercial-detection jobs when the recording starts
If enabled, and Auto Commercial Detection is ON for a recording, the 
flagging job will be started as soon as the recording starts. NOT 
recommended on underpowered systems.
)

Note, though, that the option becomes mostly meaningless when you factor 
in back-to-back recordings.

Instead, setting the "Maximum simultaneous jobs on this backend" and 
"CPU usage" and "Job Queue start time" and "Job Queue end time" 
appropriately will be useful for people who are attempting to run 
underpowered backend systems.
