Actually, the CPU is hardly being used while a show is being recorded because I have a PVR350. It is also usually at 30% while watching a show because of the hardware assisted mpeg encoding on the EPIA board. So it should be able to do semi-realtime flagging fairly well. I didn't know about this feature existed so I'm going to go implement it right now and see how it turns out.

So you can play a file with only 30% utilization because you're using hardware decoding, but how much CPU does it take if you turn off the hardware assisted decoding since that's what matters? In order to flag a recording, the commercial flagger has to decode and "play" the recording and it can't do this using the hardware assist, so it will take quite a bit more CPU. I don't know how much though.
