Any modern multi-core CPU will be able to do comm flagging properly
for you.  I upgraded my MythTV box to an Asus M5A97Evo motherboard
with an AMD FX-4100 CPU and 8 Gibytes of RAM in 2012.  The CPU is quad
core 3.6 GHz.  The result is that it can do comm flagging in real time
on one recording per core.  I have not tried setting it to do more
than four comm flagging jobs at once, but when doing four at once,
there is plenty of CPU left over for all the other processing needed
when I am recording 8 or more channels at once.




Just curious, if I remember correctly the recommendation for user job
settings used to be "cores - 1". Has that changed?
