I don't know about CPU usage, but I really like my DC10+.  I had a Huappauge WinTV Go (the low-end one, sells Stateside for about $50 through common retailers), and it was good, but it doesn't have compression, so you need a really fast disk to grab full frame data.  The DC10+, though there is a lot more work (compared to bt8x8) to get it running, can grab full frame data on a humble P166MMX with a PIO4 hard drive.  I got mine at Best Buy for $80, and I feel very satisfied with my investment.
