I recently upgraded from .18.1 to .19 and am having horrible
performance issues as well. I can't even record a show, and playback a
pre-recorded one without the video and audio pausing every half
second, and my load average jumping over 4.00. This wasn't a problem
with .18.1, I could record back to back and playback and commflag
without breaking a sweat.
