I never had a problem with bttv and 2.6. ~40% useage on almost the
same hardware as yours for one stream. Perhaps it's specific to your
capture card, or bttv version?

Are there any unofficial/third-party kernel patches that would make
either kernel perform better than stock? I am currently

I can't say I'm a 'hardcore tweaker', but I run 2.6.9
I'm running 2.6.9-nitro4 just fine (though I am unable to get lirc to
work with that or any kernel, so I can't comment on that.) I think
the general consensus is that 2.6 is faster than 2.4 in terms of
desktop performance.

I think it depends on the tuner card and what sort of support it has.
I have a Twinhan VisionPlus and 2.6
Here on my box, 2.6 needs much more cpu to record a program than 2.4!
I have a Athlon XP 2400+ and I can record 2 programs at the same time
with my 2 cheap bttv cards. It uses about 80 % cpu with kernel 2.4.27.
I tried different 2.6 kernels (starting from 2.6.0 a year ago and
last month
