I've got a PVR 350 with same software.

Hmmm... that usually doesn't happen here either.

I experience lirc slowdowns when editing a recording. Certain frames will
REALLY bog it down.

My wireless USB keyboard and wireless X-box gamepads don't exhibit the
same problems. They work the same all the time, so I can only assume it's
either an lirc issue, or a mythtv lirc integration issue. Perhaps the lirc
key loop is in a sub-optimal part of the code?
