So I finally got around to recompiling my MythTV-0.19 and adding your
speedup.patch file into the code.  It worked like a charm.  All my
kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping
data. kernel: ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough
error messages have stopped showing up and I'm not getting huge drops
in frames now.

I added a comment onto the ticket so that (hopefully) it will help to
push your changes into the code.  It looks like, from the ticket, that
one of the devs wanted you to break up the patch so that he could
implement parts of it.  You should try that.
