I have to agree with Aubin's opinion on RAM usage.  RAM usage is
unreasonably high!  On my PVR, here is what "top" has to say about the
python (freevo) process:

(I realize that these are all threads of the same process and the
total VM usage is 67908, not 67908 x 12, but even still...)

68MB of VM and 31MB of resident RAM usage is just way too high for
what we have here.  And I still find the latency of IR key presses to
be bad.  It is in a state where I am using freevo now, but I am still
annoyed at the result of pressing and holding the down key (for
instance) in the Recorded TV Programs menu.  The cursor keeps moving
way beyond my releasing the key.
