Of course you are right - in theory.
In practice, however, I had glitches with my 150 MHz PentiumPro
and I don't have any with my 450 Mhz Pentium III.

(Of course, that's during recording while you have problems
even when watching live broadcasts)

I would assume that some careful tuning of the DVB driver's
interrupt handler on a slow system would make the thing work
without any glitches. Until then, our only chance is to throw
more horsepower at it.
