An option would be to lower priority of all threads except this one. I 
guess only relative priority within VDR is important.
You can also raise priority in your init scripts (nice=-N), before 
running VDR. This way every thread will have nice=0 priority, except the 
LIRC one, which will stay at nice=-N
