Been patching for years, but I don't think this is a MythTV issue, not something they can do much about.

I'm running all this in dom0. There is 16GB of memory in the system, and it's an i3, and nothing else is really running. I've allocated 4GB to dom0, and even with all the other VMs running, CPU usage is low and there's about 7GB free. I'm not doing any kind of PCI passthru, and in fact the main reason I'm running Xen is that it allows me to run mythtv in dom0 and get "direct" access to the PCI DVB cards. > > Have a great weekend. :) > Patrick.
