[mythtvnz] CPU required for Freeview HD

[Barry Clearwater]

I'm fascinated by the discussion about cpu requirements, can someone
briefly outline again the reasons that myth needs such huge amount of
processing for the h264 standard?  Are STB's that powerful, or is it
done with some proprietary decoder?
Is our decoder not low-level enough?
