Comment (by J.Pilk@…):

 I've added this at the end of the import section in mythburn.py and
 responses feel sharper; I'm still seeing 'TFW took a long time' when
 recording while running MythArchive but it doesn't seem to result in
 failed or corrupt recordings. I suspect that it would improve matters
 further if disk-intensive activities such as remuxing used different
 spindles for source and destination but I haven't yet tried scripting that
 here.

 import psutil[[BR]]
 p = psutil.Process(os.getpid())[[BR]]
 p.set_ionice(psutil.IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE)[[BR]]


 In Fedora psutil is in the python-psutil package.
