It depends on what type of compresion will you select -
mpeg compression is far less CPU intensive then DivX encoding.
(Though I think XviD encoding is pretty fast)
Also are you using preview mode or overlay mode ?
What is your hardware (CPU, capture card)

The problem with all those sample applications is that I'm mostly
the only one who works on the them - and when there are better or
more important things to do they are left unmodified and buggy
and are rather fixed only occasionaly...
