My guess is that it's because I never finished the code to handle it, so 
it's probably generating the entire page.  I left it undone because it's 
svn and I'm planning to do a major rewrite of that whole page.

You could try adding the following after the query around line 68 in 
modules/tv/recorded.php:

     // Exit early if we're in AJAX mode.
         if (isset($_GET['ajax'])) {
             echo 'success';
             exit;
         }

It's sort of a kludgy fix, but please let me know if it works to speed 
things up for you (I don't really notice much of a change on my box, but 
it's a relatively speedy p4)
