But there is one thing (don't know, if this was mentioned yet), that is
putting a little more stress on the systems during real-time commercial
detection while also watching the same show, as far as I know. At least
this was the case in older MythTV versions.

The backend is informing the frontend about found commercial breaks all
the time. This is not happening when you either watch the recording
later or disable real-time commercial detection.
