This appears to fix the problem on my system.  Filesize updates are
now being made once every 2-10 seconds, rather than every 20-30ms.  I
tested r22962 with and without this one-line change.

I'll report back if I see any more related problems, for example when
I get a chance to test Live TV, and also the problem I noted with
zero-length recordings.
